I was looking at a Henry .357 recently and was about to pick one up until the manager of the shop I was in told me that the Henry would not feed .38 special very well. While not a big issue as I could always load .357 down if I found the need, it would just be a lot more convenient to shoot either when the need arises.

Exactly my intention, then quandary. I have multiple .357 revolvers, and a lot of .38sp +P Ranger. That was my ammo to share, but Henry says no, it WILL jam. I had a visit with LGS, and they are going to carry my thoughts to the distributor, who has been pushing the .38 compatibility as a shining star. Not sure I expect any useful feedback after the CS call I had.

And I physically can't do reloading, for several reasons.

For now mine is still wrapped up in the box. Maybe I can trade it without losing my shirt.
