"Hi all. I have a Henry Big Boy 44.mag. I purchased it to use primarily as protection while I worked for an outfitter in the mountains of B.C... This rifle is a blast to shoot, the whole family had fun with it . ~Kimball"
Kimball also posted this photo of his step son
Quinten shooting a rifle for the first time. Now he wants his own Henry 44 Magnum. Thanks Kimball for the photos!
FYI:
Rifle (Sporting Firearms Journal) has a good article on the .44 Magnum 'Classic Cartridges' by John
Haviland - Nov 2010 No. 253 Pg 12-16. It also discusses the .44 Mag as a rifle bullet, which isn't always written about.
"...There is something about the .44's big bullet and big hole that kills big game well, and I'm waiting for someone to explain that phenomenon..."
It's a fun article to read, and like many on the .44 Magnum, it says that it's not the most powerful caliber around, but it does a heck of a job taking down big game. Its short barrel makes it easy to carry and hunt with, and there's something about that 44. Mag rifle that takes us back to the day of the cowboy, protecting the widow from the ruffian gunman. It's a good read, and there's a table of Factory Loads and another of Select Handgun Handloads, which includes the 240 grain Hornady with 2400 powder.
