32-20

[skeet]

GOB..for all intents and purposes yep..the 32-20 is too light for deer. Yep a bunch of deer have been killed with the round but like the 25-20 it really isn't a deer round. Lots and i mean LOTS of deer have been killed with the 22 LR..but it isn't a deer round either. I have an old Colt revolver in 32-20..shoots ok and all but no barn burner. I also have a Contender bbl in the caliber..but the Contender uses a .308 bullet..not the larger .311-.314 bore. I actually have quite a few bullets for use in the 32-20 and they measure in those sizes. Now as to the necks on the 32-20..yep..they are thin... but if you use caution and a little flair in the mouth they will load ok. They do not last long though.. The brass is not heavy. I have even made .218 Bee brass from it but too much is lost to the process. If I were you..I would save my money for a Ruger Blackhawk in 327 Federal..shoot all kinds of stuff in it..32 short..32 Long...32 H&R Mag and the 327 Federal.. Yeah..I know it's not old...but old doesn't really make it all better.
