Default GM 32 cal T C Barrel

Well I just bought a GM 32 cal barrel for my renegade. I have a 31141 lyman mold 170 gr might make an interesting bullet to shoot. It is a rifle bullet I wonder how it will stabilize in a 1x 48 twist barrel. Also have a 90 gr 32 pistol mould. I can play without burning a lot of powder and lead also recoil.

I'm jealous. Where did you find the barrel?

Nice small game setup you have now.

WHOOOEEE!! That's gotta have some weight to it being 1" flats and only .32 cal.

And yea, the little .32's are definitely cheaper to shoot!

I might send that to a machine shop and have it fluted. You were lucky to find that. They are scarce. But even with that 1-48 twist, I think they were meant to shoot roundball. Still I can't wait to see your range reports.

I found it on Greybeard muzzle loading sections. Just got a 54 Renegade havn't fired it yet. I have a 36 cal CVA and 5 54 cal Two Lyman one CVA and a Renegade. 4 percussion one flint. I also have a 54 smooth bore barrel. So I am 54 cal poor.

That was my first thought too Semi! Seems like a lot of steel around that little hole.

My .50 cal Renegade weighs 8lb 5oz. You may be pushing 9lbs with the .32.
