32-20
I might be stiring up a hornets nest here but the 32-20 has been on my mind a bit lately. I know folks say that it's too light for deer, but I have seen many deer taken cleanly with this old round, and somewhere in the back of my coconut I am really considering trying to acquire one. My Great Grandfather used a 32-20 as a pot gun (ie to fill the cook pot) and was greatly successful in doing so. In fact the ONLY round I know of that he shot more than the 32-20 was the 22 long which he also used as a pot filler. So who reloads for this venerable old round these days? Heck for that matter who has loaded for it in the past. I have heard that there were issues with the neck collapsing but that could be rumor mill bunk for all I know (Much like all 45 colts being weak because balloon head brass split on one notable gun writer)
Anyway I am just curious and looking for a good conversation. GoodOlBoy
