New to muzzleloading and I have been looking over gun racks for a used 32 caliber now for quite a while (on line opportunities are less interesting to me so I have only a couple of shops that I can check) as my first ML - a practical idea since I do not typically punch paper, nor am I a deer hunter. While I typically see loads of 50 cal and 54 cal guns, today I ran across a TC Hawken percussion in 45 cal. So is this just too large for squirrel and is it best if I just continue to wait for a 32 caliber gun to show up?
Thanks.
