Why Not a .32-20?
by Paul Shuttleworth "

RK;

I thought I read somewhere that you and Paul were instrumental in advancing the heavy for cartridge 32-20  family, i.e. 32 CPA (Millers, RKS etc.) I've seen a few 32 cartridge Reamer Drawings with you being credited as the designer.

RE:
But it is important to not confuse a 32-20 CPA and a 32-20 WCF.

Yes the CPA 32-20  is different in that it shoots a .321 bullet, but does that disqualify it from a Schuetzen Match' ?

I'm not a competitor so I don't have an issue with it as I think the CPA Rifles and their iterations are in keeping with the spirit of the Traditional Schuetzen Shooting. 

Some may argue that the 32 CPA, 32 Miller's 32 RKS etc. are not 'Traditional cartridges'. Remember way back the NRA gave Dan Theodore grief over his 35-40 & 35-55 in the BPCR competitions even though he found commercial offerings from Stevens in their catalogue in those cartridges.

I just looked at the ASSRA & the ISSA rules and didn't find equipment and cartridge limitations as it would relate to today's 32 caliber cartridge offering as long as it was a period correct type rifle etc.
Have I missed something..?

Anyone else... Ferris...?... Bueler...?

I don't know about schutzen but for a 200 meter gong match using a full size ram target I've been doing ok. Scores in the low to mid 30's out of 40 shots with a Stevens model 44 in plain ol .32-20 using an Arsenal molds 311008 mold bullet.

Thanks Bob,

It's good to put a voice to the print. Well Done.

And here I was giving you credit as the innovator,
designer and genius behind what is now probably the most user friendly, most efficient case by volume, accurate *& successful Schuetzen cartridge.
