Will the the 32-40 work for Cowboy Silhouette ?
« on: January 19, 2007, 01:35:34 PM »
Will the 32-40 work for Cowboy Silhouette?  I have an older Marlin 93 rifle in 32-40 I would like to use.  Will the 32-40 knock the rams down?

Sure it will! I run 150gr. 30 cal bullets at 1500 fps in my 30-30 and it takes them fine. No reason a 180gr. or so bullet at the same or greater speed wouldn't work.

I think the 32-40 will work great.  I've played the silhouette game using an original Win. model 1894 in .32 Winchester Special.  It throws a 170 grain bullet that has no problem taking down the 200 meter rams.
