Frequently Asked Questions
Henry .357 Mag rifles
How far can a Henry 357 shoot?
A Henry 357 Magnum lever-action rifle is effective well beyond 100 yards. From a 20" barrel, the cartridge generates serious velocity and energy. Practical range depends on terrain, ammunition, sights, and shooter skill — dense cover often limits shots more than ballistics do.
Is 357 big enough for deer?
Yes. A .357 Magnum lever-action rifle takes deer ethically past 200 yards with proper shot placement. Loads like Federal HammerDown expand reliably at rifle velocities. Since most deer are killed under 100 yards, this caliber is more than sufficient for typical hunting situations.
How much does a 357 drop at 100 yards?
At 100 yards, a .357 Magnum rifle drops roughly 1 to 3 inches depending on the load and zero distance. Zeroed at 50 yards, drop at 100 yards can be significantly more than 1.5 inches depending on the load. Heavier, slower loads drop more; lighter, faster loads drop less.
What are the disadvantages of a .357 rifle?
.357 rifles lose velocity and accuracy beyond 100 yards due to bullet drop. Ammunition selection is narrower than dedicated rifle cartridges. Power is modest compared to rounds like .35 Remington, limiting effectiveness on larger game. Recoil, while manageable, surprises some shooters expecting a milder experience.
Is Henry or Marlin lever-action better?
Henry rifles generally have smoother actions, crisper triggers, and lifetime warranties. Marlin offers classic styling at lower prices. For reliability and fit-and-finish, Henry wins; for budget buyers or traditional aesthetics, Marlin works well. Your intended use and budget should drive the decision.
Which is better for deer hunting, 357 Magnum or 44 magnum?
.44 Magnum is the better choice for deer hunting. It delivers significantly more energy and handles larger deer and longer ranges more effectively. .357 Magnum can work but demands precise shot placement within 100 yards. The .44's recoil is sharper, but its stopping power advantage is worth it.
What's the best 357 ammo for deer hunting?
For deer hunting with .357 Magnum, Federal Premium Barnes Expander or Buffalo Bore 180-grain flat nose are top choices. Heavier bullets retain energy better, especially from a carbine. Keep shots within 50-75 yards and prioritize vital organ placement over bullet brand.
What is the best 357 lever-action?
Opinions vary on the best .357 Magnum lever-action.

The Rossi R92 offers strong budget value. Your best choice depends on whether you prioritize accuracy, mechanics, or price.
Is the Henry Big Boy 357 good for home defense?
