Thank you very much for the great replies on the bore condition thread. I received enough input to realize we all enjoy talking about our findings, so let's try this one.
I want a caliber big enough for a 200 yard deer kill, and to me that means 32 special/ 32-40, or 38-55. I understand the 32-20 choice, but for me I need to have the highest velocity lead will allow, which weads the small ctg out.
So for debate, which of these bores is easiest to cast good bullets, and have a decent choice of molds? This would be in a pre-war rifle, Marlin or Winchester. I found some articles on this, but of course more real-world info from you adds to the mix for selection.
I have a 358 win in a new BLR, but this "soon to be mine" rifle would be more of a plinker w/ possible hunting use.
Thank you very much
Allen
