Thanks for the info, will definitely give that a try.This may sound crazy, but especially with .38spl, you need to make sure you have the receiver more or less perpendicular (straight up and down).
If any cant at all, tilt the receiver a bit to the left.
I can't tell you what the problem is, but I've seen this discussed before, and this is usually the issue.
Let us know if it makes a difference.
It’s junk, I’ll take it off your hands…….should that be in purple?Having feed issues with 38 Spl. ammo, .357 Mag. ammo NO issues. Tried different box of ammo with same results. Any thoughts?
Had a discussion with Henry tech- Stated that the use of 38 spl. less than 158 gr. is problematic and will cause double feed issues in this rifle. Ordered some 38 spl. in 132 gr. and 158 gr. will see how it does. Thanks for the reply.I think I've heard of this issue before. For geometry reasons, .357 Henry's don't like to feed .38s as well. Like the other poster said, it sounds silly but try working the action with various tilts to bias the round towards one side of the lifter or the other.
IIRC the Henry was designed for .357 and shorter rounds just don't flow into the chamber the same.
