I have been considering a lever rifle in a pistol caliber and keep coming back to the Henry Original. Like a moth to the flame.
My purpose besides just holding and looking at it would be fun target shooting at 100 yards or less. I don't expect anything close to a tack driver especially with me doing the shooting.
My question is, is there any particular ammunition it likes? I keep thinking about that long barrel for a cartridge that for normal loads, just doesn't have a lot of velocity.
So, would you stick with cowboy loads and a lead bullet or regular jacketed bullets with most likely a little more velocity? I mainly want to make sure it exits the barrel so no light loads.
