So SH, can we say that the "rim thickness" is the reason for the ammo not completely chambering in a Henry.

I only have (1) 22 magnum firearm, do you have others?

Have you tried to chamber them and if so what have you discovered?

The rim thickness was the reason for my Henrys not fully chambering the round. I also have several CZ's in .22WMR but never tried it in them.
