    Pedersoli .32

    Took the mighty .32 to my range, as in right next to the house.
    Overall satisfied with its performance.
    It is a magnificent little rifle to shoot.
    Groups were shot at 50m.
    As you can see all shots landed to the right.
    Wind was blowing that direction but I wouldn't have thought that much movement.
    I adjusted the rear sight which brought shots on paper.
    Anyway, lots of fun.

    32 is only about a 40 gr. ball and a round ball has the ballistics coefficient of a rock. Yes sir, they move around in not much wind.

    I had a Pedersoli "Cub" .50 and killed a good many deer with it. They can be very nice rifles.
    Young guys should hang out with old guys; old guys know stuff.

    Looks like the start of a whole bunch of fun. Nice thing about those little guys is you can do a lot of shooting on not much powder and lead ! Enjoy !!

    Wanting a really small small bore rifle. It appears from what I've read. "A wisp of Wind is a 32s enemy."
    Have never owned a 32.
    I found for my purpose a 45 cal patched ball weighing 126 gr. is my a do-it-all caliber. "Enough about my likes."
    That 32 pedersoli sure is a handsome rifle. Undoubtedly its owners do require a spotting scope. Not having a S/scope 54-55 yards would be quite a squint for many of us. Congratulations. You got a dandy (32) there.

    Nice looking rifle! What was your load for the 32? Also, what is in the jars in the bench picture?

    The loads were 20gns through 35gns Wano 3p BP, Pedersoli recommend a minimum of 20gns and a max of 40gns.
    The only issue I have with Pedersoli is the generic documentation they supply with their firearms so a Google search is usually needed for min/max loads.
    Luckily there is a document out there in Internet land that has this info.
    I've written on each target so I new which load was which.
    The jars on the table, one has pre cut cleaning cloth and the other is patch lube.
