.32-20 WIN AMMO
.32-20 WIN Ammo For Sale- Best Ammo Deals
The .32-20 WIN Ammo, also known as the .32 WCF (Winchester center fire), was the first small-game lever-action cartridge that Winchester produced.
It was initially introduced as a black-powder cartridge in 1882 for small-game, varmint hunting, and deer. Colt produced a single-action revolver chambered for this cartridge a few years later.
The cartridge is now approaching obsolescence, as shooters turn to other similar but more powerful and flexible loads. The power level of more modern .32s, such as the .32 H&R Magnum and the .327 Federal Magnum, equal or surpass the .32-20 Win in modern firearms.
The name .32-20 refers to the 32 caliber bullet of .312-inch-diameter (7.9 mm) and standard black-powder charge of 20 grains (1.3 g).
