I am considerin the purchase of a 32-20. Anybody know something that I should know? Tom.
Well, let's see... It is a fun little cartridge that was once thought of as a real varmint killer. I even know guys who used to shoot deer with a .32/20 - likewise with a .25/20. I wish someone still made a nice Win. 92 lever action stylecarbine in .32/20 and .25/20.
Ballistically, the .32/20 is about like the .30 cal. U.S. carbine load, but uses slightly larger bullets (.311-.312"). You'll find some loading data on this page....

It is also a real fun round to shoot from single-action revolvers!Good luck!
