Newlee SASS#5469

Just talked to Henry and they don’t recommend reloading. I would suppose that is to cover themselves legally. They say the grove bore is 376. They said they use “Saami” specs. Very interesting info there. Thanks for the help.

Just setting up to reload my new Henry 38-55. I was looking at bullets and they are sized differently. I measured my barrel and the best I could see was .375, but the bullets are gas checked .378, So what is the the optimal size for bullet and barrel?

Thanks for all the great info. Will have a shooters friend shortly and keep both the Henry 38-55 and the Marlin 45-70.

Thanks a lot for the info. Think I’ll sell the 45-70 and get the 38-55 for long range. Would it be good to 500 yards?

Yeah, looking at the side load lever gun.

Thinking about getting the new Henry 38-55, but I’ve read that it kicks like a mule. Anyone have one that can compare it to say, the 45-70? I reload my own so I’ve got the Marlin load down about as low as I can go and still keep accuracy. I would do the same with the Henry. Thanks for the info. Newlee
