A nice .30/30 or .32 Spl. M94 would be better suited - or a .45 colt or .44 mag.
: I tested my 1958 M94 in .32 Spl just last fall wiht WW ammo. I had previously tried RP's that printed 5" groups at 100 yards. The Winchesters all went into a nice 1.6" group for 5 shots. not satisfied, I put the next 5 into 1-1/2". I was tickled, especially since I didn't allow it to cool down inbetween groups. This rifle has 97% condition with a perfect bore. When I got it, it still hadn't shot a full box of ammo, but had been carried a bit.
; If one wants to reduce power in either, there are plenty of cast moulds available - more for the .30/30, of course, but the RCBS 180gr.FN bullet is supposed to work well in the .32.
; I agree, a good .25/35 would be fun, though, maybe a .25 Tomcat (.25/35 IMP).
