Help With Henry Big Boy 44 MAG

I have a big boy .44 and find it needs the shortest magnum round you can find. I make my own. Henry reccomends the leverevolution. I havn't tried these because they have thier own probs. Other lever guns have this same prob. I have not fired mine with .44 specials yet but i suspect the jamming will not occur with them. The Henry .44 also requires a very positive movement with the eject. and as was stated before i believe, henrys are sensitive to positioning, try to cycle it at an angle and it will tend to jam. i find keeping it shouldered and cycling works well and sets you up for a very fast follow up shot if needed. If you have to use a longer round i find that only loading 6 rounds instead of 10 keeps the spring looser and seems to help some.
i also have a henry .22 lever action. same as a golden boy but not as fancy. it has no jamming issues and i can fire any .22, long, long rifle or short with no problems at all just as a lever gun should be. I choose ammo for my "little" henry based on what I am shooting because it is so dependable.
 
You will just have to buy a Ruger pistol to shoot up the rest of your Blazer ammo. It is nice to have a rifle and pistol in the same caliber....chris3
