Hello there,
I have had my Henry Big Boy 44mag for three years. I have never put a bullet in it. I know, I know...CRAZY! my intention was to put it in the safe and keep it as a hand down family heirloom. I used to say its too dang purdy to shoot (it is very purdy). Well, I can't take it anymore. I gotta shoot this thing.

A buddy of mine has around 1500 rounds of 240 grain 44mag. He will sell some for $15.00 per box of 50. Killer deal right there!
My question:
Is 240 grain too much for this rifle? I think it's fine but I have read somewhere that it could cause damage.
