I am thinking of getting a Henry Big Boy .357 Lever action rifle. I plan on using it as a home defense/hunting/SHTF/all purpose rifle. I currently have a GP100 as my thump in the middle of the night defense weapon and a SP101 as backup and CCW. I have hopes of getting into reloading and it makes sense, practical and financial, to master loading one caliber (okay, two if we include the 38 special as a separate caliber, which I don't since I can use both from the same .357 platform).
Thoughts on the Henry Big Boy or any other similar lever rifle. Experience with that type of firearm (I've heard most rifle eject .357 rounds pretty well while the 38 gets caught more frequently while ejecting).
Any details you can add are appreciated.
Thanks in advance
