A .32 barrel came with my cherokee. Never fired still in the box. Im hoping to use it for squirrel this year. Have to pattern her first though :wink:BuggyRifle said:.45s?? What happened to all the .32s and .36s? Ned Roberts in The Muzzleloading Caplock Rifle spoke extensively about those even smaller calibers for such critters as deer and bear. Of course he was talking about dedicated marksmen and real woodsmen who knew how to use their tools and how to get close enough to hit what they aimed at; who didn't try to kill things from half a county away.

So I went to my second black powder match today. This one wad a NRA qualifier match. Well I did well with my .45 cherokee rifle and my .54 plains pistol. I made pro marksman and marksman with the rifle, and marksman with the pistol. The question is though. Everyone with a rifle there was .50 or.54 rifle. This is the second time I'm the only .45. Is a .45 just not that popular or are the .50's more accurate or something?
