GM drop in barrel

OK guys - how bout some input. I'm familiar with the GM drop in barrels and their accuracy. Now what I am wanting to do is get either a 32 or 36 cal percussion for fun and possibly fall squirrel and turkey hunting. Which cal would you suggest and why?

The smaller the bore the faster they fowl out. Either of them would work just fine. The .32 caliber is nice but if I were going small bore I would consider a .40 caliber. Granted you are getting a little large but then varments like coyotes could also be harvested easy.

I was thinking about the .40 but like you said, I would be getting bigger than I really wanted. I'll probably go the middle of the road and get the 36 and shoot P&B to start with. I'm not too concerned about the fouling issue for as much as I'll be shooting it while hunting. And at the range I always carry the cleaning stuff with me. I've been running this around in the back of my head for a while. But a also spent quite a bit on other toys lately so it may take a couple of months before I make up my mind. Maybe when uncle George W. sends me my tax rebate.
Thanks for the input.

You can get a cva 36 cal percussion bobcat from The possible shop for about 175 than you have an entire gun and do not have to change barrels I got one 2 years ago shoots very well with 3f shockly gold. ad PRB
