I have a 94 32-20 and my loads are a 115 lead flat point at 1180 fps. out to 100 yds they are dead meat. Now if I scoped it and loaded 100 gr xtp H.P's to 1800 fps (doable) I would feel 175 yds would be easy. I love it, quiet, cheap to shoot and effective. Now here is a guy who knows his 32-20's. I...
