Joe Swanson Motion Picture Blanks, the 5-1 blanks are what you'll want. They are hot, he is the blank guy to go to, 20x better than the plastic things out there.

I just cycled a bunch of Joes rounds through a new Uberti Henry last weekend, not a single jam or misfire.

Swanson does have good blanks but expensive. I load my own for $25 per 100 and are just as loud and reliable. Makes a big difference when firing over 500 to 1000 blanks per reenacting season with the Henry.

C-H Tool and Die at http://www.ch4d.com/ have the dies. Most of us have converted our Henrys to use .44 Magnum cases for blanks. $25 per 100 will save more than enough money to load your own blanks.

If you want to shoot blanks out of your 44-40 Henry then you might like to read this article about the subject. Reenacting with a Henry Rifle. http://www.9thnycavalry.webeditor.co...y_article.html
I hope this helps.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a handsome, and well preserved body; but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming...."WOW!... What a ride!"
Henry Rifles Used by the Common soldier
Danville turned out to be a pretty good event. We ended up with 8 Henry Rifles and in the 2 days battles we went through over 2400 Henry blanks. That would not have been possible at the prices that are charged by dealers. None of us used the plastic blanks as they present several safety issues as well as authenticity issues.
If you do not load your own Henry Rifle blanks, it is a move that you should make and will save you a lot of money if you plan on using your Henry for something other than a "Wall Hanger" or "paper weight".
