Safe to shoot yet the question is IF your lever gun will feed em properly. I use 44 specials in a Marlin 44 mag but do not own a 44 Mag flavored Winchester . Shouldn’t be an issue at all DJ !

They make a slip on recoil pad available at Midway or Brownells as well !

That 44 mag should be a sweet little plinker ?!?!?

You ever pass thru the Panhandle of Texas I’ll buy you and your family a steak dinner and let ya plink with my 500 Linebaugh Bisley and our Ruger No 1 re-chambered in 460 Weatherby Mag.....:o)

It should be a fun little plinker but as it is I am just not use to heavier recoils and it gets un-fun real fast. The problem is it weights nothing and my next biggest rifle is a 7.62. Which has not much recoil. Either I am a huge wimp or I keep getting +p ammo by accident or both. Thanks for the info. I will have to put some SP through it and see. I love the way it handles so I would like to get more practice with it.

We were at the range the other day with a bunch of friends most of which are pretty new or totally new to guns. We had a whole spread for them to try including 10/22s, ARs and my AK. But every one gravitated to the Henry Golden Boy that a friend brought. Even over the M-4s. Bah! hehe. Now I need one. Love the lever guns and that one sure has a smooth action. Too bad they only make the youth length on the non-golden model because Jen would prefer that length. After going shooting with us a few times our friend got that one as his first firearm and I must say it was a stellar choice.
