Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Henry Big Boy Brass shoot both .357 Magnum and .38 Special?

Yes. The Henry Big Boy Brass Side Gate is chambered to accept both .357 Magnum and .38 Special cartridges interchangeably, just as a .357 Magnum revolver would. This gives you excellent flexibility — use full-power .357 Magnum loads for hunting or defense, and switch to lighter, more economical .38 Special rounds for target practice and plinking without any modification to the rifle.

How does the side loading gate work alongside the tube magazine?

Henry's dual-loading system gives you the best of both worlds. The traditional removable tube magazine allows for safe, fast unloading by simply pulling the magazine out — a key safety advantage of the classic Henry design. The side loading gate, located on the receiver, lets you top off the magazine quickly round-by-round without removing the tube, just like on a traditional Winchester-style lever action. You can use either method depending on the situation.

Is this rifle suitable for hunting, and what game can it take?

Absolutely. The .357 Magnum cartridge fired from a 16.5" rifle barrel generates significantly more velocity and energy than from a handgun, making it a capable and ethical choice for deer, hogs, and similar medium-sized game at ranges up to about 100 yards. The compact overall length also makes it well-suited for hunting in dense brush or from a tree stand where maneuverability matters.
