Last week I got my 32/20. One of the old Marlin 1894CLs in unfired condition. I got it off Robert Tobler (the Bear) after I pestered him to the point of insanity. Thanks to him.
There was a group of us Ramslammers down here in Tasmania for the state Silhouette Titles (non Cowboy) so the local Pistol/Cowboy club put on a shoot, which we are very grateful for. Anyway I've got my new 32/20 and one of the others,Cus has his 100yr old 1892 in 32/20 at the shoot. We decided to shoot both Rifle and Pistol with them with a small wager involved. Incidently I lost!
The best part was we both used my cast bullets lyman mold (311576, 120gr rn/gc also off the bear), and every Ram we hit in Rifle went down as easy as can be, in fact I hit one 2 inches above the front foot any over he went. I was as happy as a dog with a tin d%$k. The ability of this little round has impressed me no end and even though I wouldn't use it in Rifle all the time it will be fun occasionaly to see what it'll do.
