Hi
Just signed up on this forum found it when I googled for henryinfo. I ordered/bought a Henry All weather in 44magnum a couple of weeks ago, just waiting for all the legal process and get the license from the authorities it will take about 4-6weeks worst case a couple of months. Im really looking forward to get this rifle and take it to the range and in the woods. Its my first leveraction, and first rifle in pistolcaliber.

Thanks, I plan to reload and getting my casting going just need some good moulds that the bullet feeds smoothly in the Henry suitable for both hunting and practice around 200-265grain. I already reload 44magnum for my handguns I use for targetshooting and magnumcompetition. I mostly use hardcast SWC 200 and 240grains they are calibrated to .430. But also jacketed bullets like fiocchi sjsp 240grain, xtp hp 240grain. But I prefer castbullets, especially if you can make them yourself. Really looking forward to get the rifle and try out my current loads.

we've bought our Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag decades ago and have used the same load using Nosler's 240 gr JHP bullets from day one .... when we purchased our Henry, we loaded it with the same ammo .... bottom line, our Henry likes them .... I recently started playing around with some 300 gr jacketed and 240 gr cast bullets

Sounds great, how are the 300gr performing on 100yard?

I don't know yet .... I've run 300 gr JHP through our chronograph where they averaged 1525 fps at 10' from the muzzle .... the 300 gr Barnes Busters averaged 1451 fps .... I don't see being able to get back out to a range until the week after Thanksgiving
