Interesting. It really does show how different ammo reacts in the same rifle. At least it was a fun day of shooting, plenty of chrono data and learning the rifle overall. I'm surprised you FIL hasn't talked you out of that rifle too, lol.

I can't seem to get my edit to add .357 to post.

For some reason, KZfaq has been having issues with their comments sections lately. Some of the replies I make disappear, and some people say their posts never appear.

Read the manual- the big boy 38 special/357 magnum cycle the 158 grain the best. Other grains are not recommended because of cycling Issues..

I hate mine but Love it too . A Scope is going on it as soon as I get the rail from Henry

@@user-ju2fo4on8x Yeah, the Henry has its good and its bad. A scope can make it an effective hunting tool at longer ranges and helps people with aging eyes like me. 😅

A 200fps difference in a low velocity round easily explains the difference. Besides, lever guns aren't typically as accurate as a high velocity bolt gun.

My second attempt at adding a comment, & I'm having trouble accessing the comments on vids on several different channels.

Thanks for the heads up! It seems to happen to me occasionally as well. I’ll reply to someone’s comment and then the reply will not post. Not sure if it’s just a KZfaq problem or if they are picking on gun channels specifically

Maybe it will do better with other ammo. It will do well enough for deer at 50 yards but overall this accuracy is not all that good. Of all of the Henry rifles I've seen tested for accuracy this is probably the worse one.

I struggle to get consistent accuracy out of same rifle with handloads. Rifle’s been back to factory TWICE for broken firing pin, misaligned front sight, and then broken screwhead. Brand new rifle. Not impressed with modern Henry. Can’t speak about the past.

@@NotJOE420 Thanks for the info! That is frustrating to hear. I know Henry has great customer service but you shouldn't need to send it off so often for issues. I suspect they just don't make barrels capable of good accuracy.
