Re: 32-20 loads?
In My Marlin CL, 115gr Lazercast over 10 gr of 2400 go thru the Chrony about 1750fps. Hornady 100gr XTP's over 14.5gr of H110 run around 2100fps. I have loaded the Lazercast with 7625 from 800-1300fps. these two bullets would do anything I would want from the 32-20. this rifle is a favorite of Mine.
