I meant big boy, allready have a golden boy. My mistake.The pistol caliber rifle is the Big Boy.
Run a forum search on "Henry Big Boy" and you should find loads of comments.
"Effective range"?
Likely 158 grain. I'm thinking mostly of pest control of 4 and 2 legged variety on a Midwest acreage.Effective range on which game? With a 125gr, 140gr, 158gr, 170gr or 180gr bullet? Cast bullets, jacketed bullets, FTX bullets?
We need much more info to answer your question...
I like Henry rifles and you probably will too if you buy one.
I appreciate the info. ThanksProper 357mag loads from a carbine barrel are very similar in muzzle energy to a 7.62x39 or 300 blackout. In fact, they all use similar powders, charge weights and bullet weights. But yeah, If I were a hunter, I probably wouldn't go past a hundred yards for a deer or smaller game. Stout lilgun loads produced 880 ft/lbs from a 6" revolver. 1500+ft/lbs from 16" lever. I like to consider it an "intermediate rifle cartridge" when fired from a long barrel.
OK, with a 158gr bullet I get 1,810 fps from my Marlin. @100 yards the bullet will still be traveling @1450 fps and @200 yards it will be @1177 fps. With a 50 yard zero the bullet will drop less than 2" at 100 yards but at 200 yards it will drop 19".Likely 158 grain. I'm thinking mostly of pest control of 4 and 2 legged variety on a Midwest acreage.
