Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors .32 Win Special

Don’t mean to go off topic, but since we’re already there, a small clarification to the implication that BH’s deer numbers are impossible. I have no dog in this fight, only a bit of relevant information.

Not impossible or unlikely in a place like Central AL, at least when I hunted deer there every year. Seasons then were long and liberal - 1 buck/day and 1 additional doe/day during doe days. The deer season then, IIRC, was about 140+ days. Not hard to kill 10 deer in a few weeks if you hunted the right places.

I haven’t hunted there recently so haven’t followed regulations. However, friends who live there and have hunted a lot have shot several hundred WTs. BTW before anyone goes nuts, all the meat was used by their families or needy people in the community.

Back to the OP’s topic. I’ve always been intrigued by the 32WS and on the fence about getting one. Ads like this one always test my restraint to grab a Win M-94 32WS in good condition.

Very tempted by this one!

I think that 32 win special is worth $600.

I also totally agree with Texas shooter about the 32 Winchester special for reloading.

I have a " collection " more like an accumulation of 30/30 s. Vintage stuff. Usually load lever evolution powder. Usually found they liked bottom of the chart. Some needed even lower loading.

Not so with the 32 win special! I have not chronographed yet, but going by amount of powder being able to use per round I predict the 32 win special is a very special cartridge!

They were available as an option before that, I believe.

I've used several bullets in my 32, all 170 grain. several jacketed and one cast.

gentlemen, posting pictures from the gallery is simple. has to be a cave man like me can do it.

I have four 32 Win Spl rifles. To me they are the cast bullet king as you can get full 2250 velocity and clean bores with that slow twist. I find them to be more accurate across the board than 30/30's and with no load development. They seem to shoot any load well.

Nice bear!
