32-20 been around for over 100 years . The 30 carbine and new 327 mag still don't beat the 32-20 if loaded to level 3 . It is flat shooting and cheap to reload . I've reload my brass so far over 20 times in level 2 and 3 loads . The brass necks are thin and most reloader screw up the brass reloading it with too heavy of a crimp or cocking the bullet in the seating operation . The M-die setup CORRECTLY is a must in my book on this round .

Would like a cylinder in 32/20 for my Blackhawk 30 carb.

tx gun runner

Some of the 30 carb will accept and shoot the 32-20 . All the ones I had didn't .

XLCH

Need to get me a round or two and see if mine dose, have read about it but never tried it.

deputy125

the 32-20 rarely got mentioned in the tv lore of hollywood......i think one time in an old gunsmoke episode a super BG was mentioned as it was his "signature" round for poofing folks with a lever.

...I was just gonna say...that was a popular rifle/pistol round, wasn't it???

Snuffy

yep

From a blues tune of the same name, "I grabbed my 32-20 and I shot her half in two."

...saw two boxes of Black Hill .32-20 yesterday $30 each 50-rd box...

I get over 600 bullets out of a pound of lead .[$.50 ] , at 4.0 gr of Unique there is 1750 rds in a pound of powder [ $16 ] and 1000 primer [ $30 ]. It is real cheap if you roll you own , and that is my load for SASS/CAS . I can't afford that factory stuff , I live in the poor area of Tx .

I think the single most overlooked round of all time is the .41 Magnum. It is a great cartridge, more controllable than the .44 Mag, but comes close to it's power. I think if the .41 Mag would have come before the .44 Mag, that it would have been much more popular than it is now. My Old Model Blackhawk in .41 Mag is one of the most accurate gun I have ever owned.

tx gun runner

Great shooting I had a 41 mag in a S&W with a 3 1/2 barrel and it shot Winc silver tips that way . There is nothing wrong 41 mag ....

XLCH

+1 0n the 41! I do like mine.

Snuffy

The 32-20 you gave me yesterday won't work in my Blackhawk 30 carb. Maybe some day I will run accross one. I have never shot one before but I bet its a great carry in the woods gun.

sheepdog

...I've had 4 of the Model 58...the 4" M&P...loved the lead SWC...about 1050fps...a .44 Spl on steroids...woulda been a great Police round but for the recoil...they coulda dropped to around 875 fps and had a good smacker...strictly a holster gun, though...I laugh that they made a Taurus 5-shot in .41 Mag...yeah, right, and you're gonna shoot it how often? In a Ruger SA, it'd be badass, though...
