Reminds me of the Demise of Small Calibers thread we've had go around a few times.
Here I am with a pristine S&W 16-4 that I bought to have a little more oomph than a 22lr and now the rules went and changed. Probably changed a few years ago and I didn't notice. That 32 mag down loaded was going to be my easy on the ears answer to shooting squirrels with a hand gun. This also rules out the 30-30 and a reduced load.
