Been a while since I posted but I need some information.
Last fall I suffered a detached retina which was treated by freezing and a gas bubble.
I am told by my retina specialist and a "shooter" optometrist, not to worry about re-detaching the troublesome retina or the one in my good eye by shooting.
However, I have sold my 7mm Rem Mag

I have a new, Davidson special, 1 of 500, Miruko made Winchester Model 92 in 32-20 that I really love. It is very accurate and I have actually taken a few squirrels with the open sights and my old eye (I only have one good one, the retina detached one is sort of wrinkled).
Knowing full well that current 32-20 ammo available (100 grn lead loading and some Jacketed Soft Point ammo) is probably too weak for deer, I would like to try some ammo I found.
Several years ago, I found two boxes of some very nice ammo labeled "32-20 Winchester, 90 Grain Sierra, Jacketed Hollow Cavity". This ammo had a warning label "to be used only in Wesson Ruger and T/C pistols". It appeared to be manufactured by the original Dan Wesson company.
I feel that a 32-20 in the common lead alloy loading is probably way to light for deer hunting. However, it appears that this Wesson ammo I found would do just fine (just like my .357 Mag rifle that I sometimes use).
If you have any information on the ballistics of this ammo, I would appreciate it.
This situation with my sensitive retina, will get me back into hand loading again (as I did over 40 years ago). However, until I can start hand loading, hopefully this Wesson ammo will suffice for deer hunting in Michigan.
Thanks for any information you folks may have.
