    Short Story,
    My brother, father and I went on a bear hunt in Montana. Where it was free range hunting. My brother shot a black bear in the chest about 25-30yds with a 7mm-magnum. The bullet exited the bear’s left side. We tracked it for over a mile through some of the roughest Montana mountains. There was a spot we found where the bear had rested against a huge pine tree. And in fact. Packed it’s wound with dirt. At this point, I realized bear are very tough. And pretty smart.

  • @billybobsnorton9196
    @billybobsnorton9196 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    While I have always admired The Henry rifle's fit and finish, and like their general appearance, the tube loading is a dealbreaker for me.
    My first centerfire rifle, purchased with a G.I. check, in 1975, was a Marlin 336. This was one of their premium rifles. The quality of the wood, the bluing of the metal parts and general fit and finish, are nowhere to be found in Remlin's rifles, on the market today.
    I have handled a Henry rifle in the Scheels in Billings, MT. The quality reminded me of the quality of the Marlin I bought min 1975.
    I just don't appreciate the logic behind including a feature that was made obsolete by John Moses Browning in the 1870s. I can tolerate this tube on a Marlin MDL 60, 22LR, but on a highish powered centerfire rifle, I find it anachronistic. In fact, I consider it a flaw. A flaw on what would be a pretty desirable rifle w/o this idiotic feature. A glaring flaw on a fairly expensive rifle.

    • @peadookie
      @peadookie 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      As a Henry owner, I kinda agree. Tube loading is pretty dangerous, IMO. Reeeeaaaly hard to maintain muzzle control when sticking your hand right in front of the muzzle at weird angles. Plus, no chance of topping off or easy loading.
      The new Henry rifles all have gates though. I might consider swapping mine out for that reason.

    • @fiveowaf454
      @fiveowaf454 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Same reason I skipped the Henry and went with a Marlin, at the time there was no loading gate option, I don't care for tube loading especially in the field, very easy to drop ammo etc. in the dirt and hard not to point the rifle at part of you. I like to be able to keep the ammo easily topped off, you never know when your hunting rifle could become your self defense rifle when out in the field.

    I really enjoyed the video, Its nice to hear someone talk about proper shot placement on bears, 100% agree with you. Interesting I have been playing with a Marlin 1895 cowboy here in Alberta, and it does not like to feed Hornady Leverevolution into the chamber, loads alright into the tube but when I go to chamber, jams up on the lip just like you showed with your tube. The other ammo point I found interesting was how you grouped tighter with +p ammo, I reloaded a bunch of 405gr flat nose ammo and the higher the velocity the better my rifle liked it setting out at 1950fps for a nice 1/2 inch group at 100, really happy I put a nice recoil pad because it really helps and makes shooting those rounds enjoyable.

      It seemed to me there was an element of operator involved, you should be able to wiggle and rotate the tube to get it past the lip, if it's a problem with Hornady, based on a quick check of my 45-70 ammo, then it's going to be the same with several other brands, as they all have that lip among the ammo I have.

      I just checked the several brands of 45-70 ammo I have on hand. The "lip" on the Hornady ammo is less pronounced than on the Federal I have and is the same on the Remington and Winchester ammo, so that appears to be more to do with the Henry loading tube than ammunition in general the Lehigh seems to be the exception rather than the rule, I've not had issues in my Marlin 1895 with any of them.

    Hi everyone, I have two questions, one out of simple curiosity and one more technical: about Hornady bullets and the fact that the collar of the cartridge case hits the magazine tube; this small defect is found only on the Hornady redtip? how do other types of bullets go to train on target? going to touch up the inlet of the tank as a little flaring maybe eat the bullets better? I live in Italy and machined bullets have a certain cost to go to the shooting range. the other question more out of curiosity, how does bear hunting work? do you go to Canada with your gun and can you hunt freely? do you have to pay something? for example, can I take a trip from Italy and hunt game freely? greetings to you from Italy and happy new year.

    My Henary i can get 5 rounds in the tube and 1 on the chanbber and if it hits on the tune rod i just work it in and it does fine so my Henary works fine with 6 rounds total

    I'm kind of a novice shooter, compared to yourself and I know people load/reload their own cartridges. I have not seen before where a bullet looked as intact as the one you showed us. Would it be possible to reload that same bullet and use it again? I think it would either damage the barrel significantly or have bad accuracy. Is it the spiraling on the sides that engages with rifling? I don't know much about fluted bullets.

      On occasion you might (i stress might) be able to get away with a "reload" of a slug in a shotgun but not a rifle. The tolerances are simply to tight. And yes the bottm ribbing is what engages the rifling

I got the GBL for $450 brand new. If you know how to use a 1895 I could unload the tube without cycling the action. All you do is push in the bullet stop and the there you go!!

    In Maine we judge bears by their ear size. A huge bear has little Oreo sized ears while a little 100 pounders ears look big compared to his head.
    I'm a photographer and I've been to Bangor and seen Paul Bunyan countless times. At your video time stamp 4:54, if you would have taken one or two steps to your left and taken a picture, it looks like Paul Bunyan is sticking up his middle finger. That's because the handle of the peavey in his left hand is lined up with his right hand. It's a pretty common local joke. Oh and I do believe that is the tallest Paul Bunyan statue.?

    Why are you trying to put the bullets in upside down? How do you plan on shooting the gun? I shot a 45 /70 Henery and have never had a problem. The tube of the Herny easily fits
    over the case. I reload 100 % of my rounds you must crimp each case to keep the bullet from creeping in the case upon discard of the rifle.

    Concerning the issues with uncrimped ammo, Henry does not recommend Hornady Leverevolution and unfortunately they only listed a couple ammo brands to shoot throught this model, one being Federal's line which is good enough for me. I also reload so I can control the tolerance at the crimp (H010). My issue wasn't so much the loading tube, but the shell carrier getting gouged up inside the action. Henry sent me a new one, reluctantly, so I didn't have to send my rifle in and now I just use Federal or reloads. If you can live with that the rifle is excellent.

      The Federal Hammerdown I have has a more pronounced lip than any other ammo brands I have in 45-70, despite being called premium and having the nickel plated cases. It all works fine in my Marlin. Interesting Henry doesn't recommend the Hornady ammo.
