The 32-20 is so interesting to me because it's one of those rounds that folks used for decades without question to kill deer. But if you asked today, it might barely be enough to kill a squirrel...
With whitetails becoming practically vermin in places these days, it’s hard to picture the bad old days when just seeing one was an event. A .32/20 or something of the sort was a practical choice for the one-rifle guy back then for someone that was a careful shot and good hunter. Still is I suspect, but now everyone needs a different gun for deer facing left instead of right, or so it seems. I can see myself paring down drastically in the not too distant future to something light, handy, and maybe marginal power-wise. Already have several like that in hand.
