Thread: Marlin .32 special 22" barrel lever

The 32 winchester was in the words of Frank Barnes "a serious contender for the most useless cartridge ever". It was originally designed back in 1895 as a smokeless cartridge that could be reloaded with black powder. Its slow twist of 1:16 didnt fowl as bad as the 3030. It was as powerful as the 3030 Energy is quoted as 1920 ftlb with a 170 gr.
With a 200 yd MRT of 5 inches
Effective range would probably be the same, around 150 yards or less if its got buckhorn sights because they are not the best
Ammo is available but may be hard to find. It should be fun to use, lever guns carry better than just about everything
