   Greetings All, The 32-40 was created by necking down the 38-55. Both were used as black powder target rifles. Winchester did a run of John Wayne Commemorative rifles and cartridges some years back....

   Greetings Micky, That would be the32 Winchester Special. It was a cartridge that could be hand loaded with black powder and give reasonable results. Had a slower twist than the 30 WCF (30-30) that...

   Greetings Larskramer, You seem to have most of the modern stuff covered so I suggest a .280 Ross. This will keep you busy finding cases, projectiles etc. plus developing loads for quite some time....

    Greetings All, I have used a 150 grain round nose with 38 to 40 grains of AR2206H in my .308 rifles for a light target load. The lower load chronographed 2,350 fps in a 22 inch barrel. Shot well....
