A cousin gave me my uncle's old deer rifle - a Winchester lever-action .38 WCF or .38-40. Then son-in-law showed me his great-grandfathers saddle carbine in .32-20, a Marlin lever-action. A search on the internet showed the .32-20 shoots about a 100 grn bullet at 1150 fps and the .38-40 pushes 180 grn bullet out to 1250 fps. These seem a tad on the anemic side. Both of these make my .357 pistol look like big news. Has anyone actually used one of these old caliber rifles to kill something and what were the results?
