[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3402405, member: 24867"] I'd think maybe a slight nod would go to the 44, but plenty of game has been taken with the 357. Here's one right off the Henry website: [ATTACH=full]170493[/ATTACH] Max hunting range I'm guessing would be around 150 - 200 yards based on what I've read: "[I]On the box of Hornady 140-grain FTX .357 ammo, it states the velocity as 1,440 feet per second. I am pretty sure this number is based on if the round was shot from a 6-inch barrel. Add 350 fps to that number, and you come up with 1,790 feet per second – even though my results for this bullet in the Henry rifle were an average of 1,868 fps. So, based on a couple of different ballistics calculators, this bullet fired out of the Henry is traveling about 1,245 fps at 150 yards and has about 482 pounds of energy at that distance. Based on this data, the .357 out of the Henry rifle has PLENTY of power to kill a deer or pig at 150 yards. The 200-yard data for this round is 1,112 fps and 385 foot pounds of energy – which is still enough to kill deer and pigs with a well-placed shot[/I]." [/QUOTE]
