Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Henry Big Boy Steel Side Gate shoot both .44 Magnum and .44 Special ammunition?

Yes. The Big Boy Steel Side Gate is a dual-caliber rifle chambered to accept both .44 Magnum and .44 Special cartridges interchangeably. This gives shooters the flexibility to practice or plink affordably with .44 Special loads while retaining full stopping power with .44 Magnum rounds for hunting or defense situations.

What is the advantage of the side gate loading system over a traditional Henry tubular loading system?

The side gate allows shooters to top off the tubular magazine one round at a time through a loading gate on the right side of the receiver — just like a classic Western-style lever-action — without having to remove the magazine tube. This makes field reloading significantly faster and more convenient, especially in a hunting scenario where time and ease of operation are critical.

Is the Henry Big Boy Steel a good choice for deer hunting?

Absolutely. The .44 Magnum cartridge is a well-established deer round effective at ranges up to approximately 100 yards, making this rifle well-suited for hunting in wooded or brushy terrain where shots are typically taken at close to moderate distances. The 20" barrel provides a good balance of velocity and maneuverability, and the 10+1 capacity gives hunters plenty of ammunition on tap for follow-up shots.
