    The octagonal barrel is the number one reason I bought my Henry H001T. It's more accurate than I can hold for sure.
    Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF.

    I do not think the extra weight is worth it on a hunting rifle. It does look nice on my brass Henry though.
