I'll vouch for that. I use to have a T/C Cherokee in 32cal and when I first started with it I used something around 30grs of ffg black and it was devastating on squirrels. Finally backed off to around to something like 15- 20grs and got a more harmonious outcome. That was with patched round ball. Never shot the little maxi-ball. Finally sold after T/C quit making them and couldn't get spare parts for them easily. Saw one over on gunbroker or gunsamerica used but like new (supposedly never fired) for $650 plus, think I gave $180 for mine when they first came out. Still have a Seneca 45 and renegade 50.
