Loaded up some 32-20 Win cartridges today with the mold Accurate made for me by combining two of their other molds with the best features of both. The 31120I bullet is an amazingly accurate bullet in my revolvers and the T/C Contender. I cast these in Lyman #2 alloy and run them around 1000fps in the Uberti 1873 revolvers as well as the Contender. This cartridge is too long for the Cimarron Model-P Jr. revolver which is a tiny little thing.

I dearly love casting for and shooting the 32-20 Win

With rifle in hand, I confidently go forth into the darkness.

I love the 32-20. I had my Win 92 out about a month ago and what a pleasant gun to play with. It seems the older I get the more I appreciate light recoiling frugal loading guns.

How are the sights as far as windage on the Uberti?

Windage is off an inch or two (to the left of POA) at 15-25 yards. Elevation is a tad low at 25 yards. About two inches as well. Elevation comes into its own beyond 50 yards. I think the sun was messing with me some since I was shooting on a beautiful sunny day out in the open with no overhead cover.

Mind you, this is a 7" barrel. Bought the revolver from DGW. Sweet gun.

Dam, now I am online looking at those things.

I guess a guy can't have enough 32 Caliber guns.

these dimensions seem odd? or are they rifling width?

The cylinder mouths are .312". Now the surprising part is a .308 bullet will not fit into the muzzle so the bore is smaller than .308" making the .305" statement realistic. Groove to groove diameter HAS to be bigger than .300" so I think they mean groove depth is .300" making a groove to groove diameter of .311". The Uberti chart on the Cimarron web site shows this Uberti data:
