    I have a Pedersoli in .32, very happy with it.

You shouldn't have any difficulties with either, I never have. The 40cal. I've played and worked with about all of them from 32 to 62...except 40. It always struck me as sort of a red headed step child but I've never talked with anyone who had one that didn't like it. One of these days I'm going to order that Track of the Wolf Bedford County kit in 40 cal. and build it.
    I do have a .40 with a Bauska barrel. I was surprised to find it is probably my best rifle at longer ranges.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    i have a pedersoli cub 32 and its really nice and fast ignition. Uses a 5/8 x 5/8 flint. Quality seems real good. Fast lock on it. Fun to shoot. 21 gr 3f with a round ball does good out to 30 yards. Any thing the size of the bottom of a pop can is not going to have a good day.

    I almost wish i would have got a 36 because those 32 ball are pretty small. Shooting it is addictive doesn't cost much to shoot thats for sure.
