[QUOTE="flassen, post: 2268052, member: 58543"] One advantage to a side loader is, your rifle is not out of commission when you load it. Very handy for topping it off in a dangerous game scenario. The advantage to a tube loader is safety in unloading it. It can be more dangerous to load if the operator is not careful. I don't own a Henry but I have several lever guns. I also have considered purchasing a Henry that loads from the side gate and tube. Henry has a very good reputation. All of my lever guns are in 45-70. You can load wimpy loads like the one posted earlier or hotter loads that have more recoil and better Ballistics. I have shot 45-70 in competition out past 1000 yards. It does drop a lot but that's a good way to learn to shoot. I believe that your boys will do well with whatever you purchase for them. Best of luck to you! [/QUOTE]
