not sure if this will interest anyone,but I got to thinking the other day.what made me like the .32 round? And why when I see a firearm in that caliber is it more attractive for purchase? I have shot far more things with a 30-06. The first was a flat band .32 ws that I fell in love with(which  shoots great and is in the survey) it has led me to a few more .32’s(all of which are in surveys). I understand  that it may not be the rarest caliber,  but it’s like a moth to a flame.Could it be familiarity ? or just plain  Winchesteritis ? Ballistics aside, of course, I am just speaking about that inert quality a firearm has while giving you all something to ponder. So what led you to your caliber?

Oh yes Bill…it has indeed gained my interest; and you couldn’t have stated it any better.  I too am afflicted with the desire to procure just about anything .32! 

P.S.  Hopefully I don’t offend anyone, but I have an insatiable fondness for the .32 Remington as well as .32 S&W, & .32 S&W Long.  And yes, I realize not all .32s are in fact .32…but go figure.  Wink
