Henry Lever and .22 shorts?

I noticed that my local Walmart has some .22 shorts in stock. Anyone with any experience shooting .22 shorts in a Henry lever action? Any advice? Are these rounds worth buying or should I wait for some .22 LRs?

Thanks!

Shorts work fine in my H001Y. With the ammo shortage, I ended up buying some shorts when I ran across them. They work equally well in my Heritage Rough Rider as well. I can save what LRs I have for my semi-autos. Like everyone else, I'll be glad when supply catches up and once again we see adequate supplies of LR. (and other ammo as well). :gun4:

I have also seen Shorts perform well out of Henry rifles; the guns hold alot of 'em, and they can be accurate as well as relatively quiet; realistically a good HV Short round with a hollow point is all one really needs for squirrel hunting and the like :bthumb: My two former Henrys both fed and cycled these rounds just fine, although my Frontier 'T model did not eject them very well - my standard H001 had no such issues as I recall.

Kind Regards,
