The Henry rifle - Part I. - The .44 Henry rimfire cartridge

The .44 Henry rimfire cartridge was one of the first real successful self contained military cartridges. Although it was much weaker than the contemporary muzzle loading rifle rounds, it could still do the job within the normal tactical distances. The first part of the series deals with this cartridge while I shoot the Uberti repro to prepare for a later 500 yards long range shooting session.
