I have a Henry replica type 45 not the new Henry Rifle. It is agreat shooter I also had a 73 in 45 Colt both great rifles. If you are going to shoot BP in them not so much to much residue builds up after 25 rounds or so. Not designed for Bp that is why they never made the rifle in 45 in the old days. The marlin and 92 are stronger actions so if you are going to load heavy those would be the actions to get. My two cents. Gus
