strafer gott what .32 did you use?
If I just out-and-out had to use the .32-20 on a deer, I figure I'd only take a close-in head shot.
i think it is adequate 50 yards would be a long shot in the area i am going to hunt.
Win 73 ,when you used the 38/40 you probably shot the deer too far back or gut shot it. that could have happened with any caliber. would you say a 44/40 is too small? 38/40 and 44/40 have almost the same ballistics 38/40 -180 grain bullet at 1300, 44/40 200 grain bullet at 1300fps.
What ammo are you using? I suspect nerves and/or a misplaced shot are to blame.
doe probably took a step or 2 before the bullet got there
