Luck of the draw!! 32 Winchester Special

[Char-Gar]

You have a very fine rifle. It will shot cast bullets at full factory velocity with sterling accuracy. I have a 1959 Winchester 94 Carbine in that caliber. I use the RCBS 170 FNGC as well. Upon suggestion from a friend, I tried that bullet on top of 30/H335 and first time on the bench it turned in five shot one hold groups at 50 yards and 2 MOA groups at 100 yards. I have not tried any other power or charge, as I don't see that improving much if any.

I also have an 1894 in 32Win Spec but mine is a SRC. Odd little rifle that I do know a little bit about. I bought it from an estate and was told it had been in the family for years. It came from upstate New York and I thought that an odd home for a SRC. The lady I picked it up from explained that all the meat the family ate during the Great Depression was shot with this rifle, explaining the notches in the butt plate as 7 one side for bear and 26 on other for deer, IIRC. My question was why in the world would anyone sell such a treasure and she said no one still alive had any interest in it. It had musket type sights as well as a tang sight. My oldest brother had the same gun but in a rifle, not a carbine. I offered to cut the cards with him, high card would get the others gun for exactly what we paid for them, he refused, knowing that I knew he paid $29 for his in a pawn shop! Would still liked to have had both of them hanging in a rack!

My 50s vintage 94 shoots very nicely with the RCBS bullet and 4895. I haven't tried 4064, but imagine it would do well.

32 special you say. Great caliber. Has better stats at all ranges than either the 30-30 or 35 Remington. So that makes it the better big game harvester than either two previously mentioned. Enjoy the luck you just experienced. Yes sir. Grandpa is smiling down at yaw.
