I dont own a 32 but ive seen a lot of people report good things about them. Especially the quality of the stock and such. Range reports on them also were great. 25grains of 3f and PRB it what ive been seeing.

A pain to clean? No such thing. Only lazy people claim that

In FL you can only use a .32 for target practice! Minimum of .40 for hunting.

I own the .32 Crockett and I love it. I use 20 gr. Pyrodex P and a PRB and it shoots great. It's light enough to carry around and cheap to shoot and accurate as can be. I love it for rabbit and squirell. You won't be disapointed.

Salesman told you it likes 25grs of fff? In a Rifle?

I have the Traditions .32 cal. squirrelly gun. I got it off of a friend. He need to sell some of his acquisitions. It is a fun gun for me. I was loading anyware from 25 to 30 grs. of ffg. I only used it for paper targets out to fifty yards. It was very accurate. This is the gun that got me into muzzle stuffers. I paid $150 for the gun because my friend needed the money. If I was buying it from someone else, I would have offered $100.

The only thing I didn't like about the gun was the primitive rear sight. It is a little hard to see the sight picture with these old eyes.
