DS - no flames. Happy to hear real experience. I'm mostly curious because general feeling seems to be that Henry actions are weaker, but I've never seen an actual strength test comparison. I don't plan on hunting cape buffalo or Kodiak browns... but it's fun to know it's *possible.* As you say, even at non +p speeds, a big, hard cast round in any of the big bores is going to do immense damage.
That said, Garrett lists Henry as compatible with their +p rounds, but has sort of an odd explanation for it elsewhere on the site (they sent Henry test rounds and Henry said it worked, but Garrett didn't actually conduct the test). I'm also sort of feeling out either a 444 or 45-70, but I'm not sure how I feel about buying a new Marlin in either until we know what post-bankruptcy CS support looks like.
