.32 power comparison

Just about everyone I have let shoot my .32 gets that grin on their face.

Something about them is just flat out fun!

Sean, I get the same reaction. Twenty grains of 3fg or 777 make less noise than a .22, in my Crockett. Keep yer powder dry......Robin :wink:

How your .32 do on yotes? Did you have to do a head shot

I shoot for behind the shoulder. They generally run about 30 yds before piling up. Small hole to repair for selling the pelts.

I let a guy shoot my .32 Tn rifle at the range and he was all but dancing. He was telling everyone around that it didn't kick at all. Several folks there were interested. I've mostly used a .32 on squirrels but also .36, .45 and - ready for this? A .58.

That actually touches on what I wasn't gonna mention before: I use either my .45 long rifle or 14 gauge smoothbore on just about everything!

I've taken everything from deer to squirrel with both of those rocklocks, though the technique differs. I was beginning to think I was the only one. I'm glad to read I'm not!
