I noticed that the .32-40 was not listed in the NRA rules for Lever Action Cowboy. I know that it is the same kind of cartridge (rimmed) as the others that are listed in rifle. Does that mean that it's use is illegal or that it doesn't have the stuffing to knock down the rams?

Re: .32-40 in CB lever action
Can’t be the knock down part as I’ve knocked down quite a few at 200 meters with a circa 1906 Marlin 1893 in 32-40 . Heck the one I had even knocked down a mediumish size whitetail buck and I was using Venturino’s kinda anemic load no less !

Re: .32-40 in CB lever action
sika,
That's great to hear. About 2 years ago I picked up a really nice Marlin 1893 in .32-40 for about $900 or so. The cherry on the sundae was that it had a real original Hepburn sight! I have been in the hospital off and on the last year so I haven't got a chance to really get used to it. I have a few Marlin Skinner sights that I can switch for the match.
