Gotta have SWMBO "on board" with such moves, or the domestic tranquility can degrade markedly.
I don't object to the conventional Henry system's magazine-loading regimen. I have a Marlin slide-action Model 27-S that loads very similarly (25/20 WCF, FWIW). I thoroughly enjoy my Henry Big Boy (steel receiver) in 357 Magnum--Marlin and Winchester weren't available, and I got tired of waiting around and went the Henry BB route. And I couldn't be happier.
Henry puts up their rifles in some *interesting* calibers, for certain. That 38/55 M&B would have been a CERTAIN sale to me if not for the JES-saved Win 94 I had Mr. Ocumpah rebore its spoiled 25/35 chamber. 38/55 is far more useful by accident than the 25/35 ever was on purpose.
