If you have a 36 caliber TC rifle try using some hollow base 38wadcutter bullets with a reduced charge. The TC guns have a 1/30 twist and will stabilize the WC bullets. They work like a miniture Minnie ball with their hollow base. I have also shot them from a 36 caliber traditions with a 1/48 twist and they shot well enough to kill turtles in my buddies stock tank out to 40 yards or so. Thats why I prefer the 36 over the 32 bore guns.
