The original Henry load drove a roughly 200 grain bullet to about 1100 fps. My Steel framed Henry in .44-40 can reach 1200 safely and that's where I stay. Even at that velocity, I often find the case hasn't expanded enough to totally seal the chamber, It kicks like a .22!

It really shines when I load it with 777!
