Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 32-20 Winchester (32 Winchester Center Fire or WCF) was introduced in 1882 in Winchester's famed Model 1873. It is a mild-mannered cartridge firing a .312-inch bullet of 100 grains at 1210 feet per second. As such it is very marginal for deer-sized game, but is excellent for short-range use on small game and varmints and is extremely pleasant to shoot. It was a common chambering in lever-action and slide-action rifles and was also chambered to single-action and double-action revolvers. Marlin recently made a run of 32-20 and 25-20 Model 1894 rifles, and both Remington and Winchester continue to offer factory ammunition. — Craig Boddington
