.32H&Rmag and ??' s
I' m planning on going in tomorrow and picking up a .32H&R mag Ruger " Vaquerito" case colored 5.5" with Ivory' s, it' ll be something for my lil' lady to play with and for me too, for small game and a CAS match or two. It' s a gorgeous little gun, I don' t usually like blued wheels, don' t own any, and I don' t usually get weak rounds, .44mag' s my favorite medicine (which I' m getting a new Vaquero in on tuesday), but when I saw this gun, and it' s tag, I couldn' t resist.
I' m kind of curious about the round though, I' m not certain of which other cheaper .32 rounds share similar chambers, and I haven' t been able to find the H&Rmag in any of my reloading manuals (some rather old, and some rather new), anyone know a manual with good data for it? I' m also curious about the performance of the H&R mag and chamber similar rounds on game like rabbits and coyotes, I' d never dream about taking it on deer, unless I can go down to my aunt' s in TX after greyhounds with racks [&:][:-]. Any advice, opinions, info, etc would be appreciated.

I shot one of those last year and loved it. Would love to have one for fishing and hiking. (good snake medicine ) I think that Federal is the only person making a commerical load in .32H&R maybe one more? I' ve also seen some loading material for it, belive one site was http://www.hodgon.com Congrat' s on the new toy
