One user couldn\u2019t load the ammo easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It happens for the Hornady Leverevolution ammunition particularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Henry mentions that Hornady is a good ammo manufacturer but the case rim is slightly bigger than normal making it stuck sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first mentioned issue has no solution at the user end but the second one can be sorted out easily. Find the fix below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Actually, there\u2019s nothing you can do as a user. It needs to be fixed in the design part of the rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The manufacturer solved the issue in the redesign. Hence, this rifle model has become solid without any feed issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, to solve the other issue, you have to spin the tube while putting the bullets in the magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBarrel Length<\/td> 18.43\u201d<\/td><\/tr> Overall Length<\/td> 37.5 inches<\/td><\/tr> Weight<\/td> 7.08 Pounds<\/td><\/tr> Rate of Twist<\/td> 1:20<\/td><\/tr> Magazine Capacity<\/td> 4 Rounds<\/td><\/tr> Rear Sight<\/td> Buckhorn<\/td><\/tr> Front Sight<\/td> Brass Bead<\/td><\/tr> Barrel Type<\/td> Round Blued Steel<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n 4 Common Henry .45-70 Problems and Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
