You make a good point. Henry rifles are very well-made, beautiful, pieces, but they are a pain in the ass to reload.
Do you happen to know whether Marlin, Browning and/or Winchester make a lever action rifle chambered for .357 magnum?
They do and their sweeet!!!
Marlin makes a .357 lever gun. Bought one for my bride. Used to have a .450 Marlin until it fell overboard with all the rest. Someday when the insurance pays off, I may consider a Sharps in 45-70.

Not sure about Browning. Marlin used to make one before the Remington takeover. They’re available used, but not cheap. They’re still making the .44 magnum, though.
Winchester has a .357, but it’s pricey. Not sure about availability.
Correction: It appears that Browning is focusing on rifle caliber levers with a removable box magazine. Hmm, one of those in 223 might be tasty.
Anyway, I’d really like one of the Marlin .357s. Saw one at a gun show, but way overpriced. There are usually plenty on the gun broker website, but I don’t want to deal with shipping to an FFL, etc.
