Do the Winchester records verified that and what cartridge, I have heard of a center fire Henry cartridge but have never seen one and I have looked at many cartridges over the years, now if you look at a 44 S&W American that are for the most part a center fire Henry I have made some and shot them in a center fire 66

Shooting grease groove bullets in a sharps is new technology and just a passing fad.

Orville: This is the second .44 Henry Centerfire I've encountered. They both feed and chamber .44 Russian is the correct overall length is figured out.

old joke may apply here.

guy has an argument in the old west with a big and I mean BIG bully at a bar.
small guy pulls out a sharps .22 derringer and points it at the big guy.

Big guy says...
'Look little buddy, if you shoot me with that,,,
And someone tells me about it..
I'll be really mad..."

bring enough gun..... :D .
