Per 9.3x72r, I had the same dilemma regarding an older hammer drilling I have chambered in this caliber. I met a few of the folks from the German gun collectors at the vintagera event a few years back and was told that S&B loads this caliber down suspecting that people will be firing them in older guns. I have fired in mine with great success. I am not suggesting you do so only that it has worked fine for me. It's a great cartridge...

Hey Dave ,Nice Gun ! You need to get her out shooting ,I really get a kick out of mine ,too bad we don't have over lapping Grouse and Deer here in Pa. ,I figure I could use mine in Bear season and also do a little Grouse hunting at the same time ! That is when I see most of the Grouse I find any way ! Russ

I'm not even sure what a 32-20 looks like. What would it compare to in modern ammo ??

I'm down to one drilling and it's going to Baltimore this weekend. It's perhaps one of the finest of more than 3 dozen I've had. two I sort of miss were Krieghoffs. One was a boxlock 20x20x.22 Hornet, and the other was a tiny hammer 28x28x 25-35 Winchester. |

I have been really busy lately but have finally had time to get the Drilling Cased up just the way I want it :),thought you Drilling Guys may like to get a look ! I purchased a Three Barrel Canvas and Leather Case from Jeffs outfitters and fit the Gun itself ,Barrels ,Full length Briley 410 Tubes , Zeiss Diatal Scope Ammo etc ! All I am missing is a nice Glass Oil Bottle and 24 Ga. Snap Caps but eventually will add these to the cased Drilling when I locate them ! Russ

Wow! That looks great! Nice job. I think I may try to do the same.

Thank You ,I think the case was around $269.00 Or so and I have been laying Oak Hardwood Flooring so I trimmed up some scrap pieces to 1/4 " made a couple partitions and used the extra felt that came with the case to cover it ,I like things neat so I enjoy these little projects ,keeps me involved in my gun hobby without a lot of expense and makes them look special !
