CowboyCS,
Thanks for your advice, I hadn't thought about the 32/40 as a double rifle cartridge but I don't see why it wouldn't work well enough and be a good deer cartridge. What sort of speed do you think you will get out of it? I'm not a speed freak myself, load 45/70 shells with 300 grainers to about 1500 to 1600. That falls into the trapdoor catagory. I could do alot more and the guns will easily stand it, but why do it? You get more noise and recoil and it costs more to load them hot, and I'm sure the game doesn't care one way or the other. They are going to just as dead using either light or hot loads. I have never lost a game animal using the 45/70, but then I get close and put it in the right place to do the job. I'm sure you can do the same just as well with your new 38/40!
Will you load this gun with black powder or one of the new substitutes? Bob H.
