They were around 3 when I got mine, they are 5 something now. Ah progress! I worked days at the bench when I got mine figuring out what it liked best and settled on the 30 grain charge. It's been so long since I tried anything else I don't remember specifics but there was a better group with the 30 grain charge than anything else and, for squirrels, that accuracy was the most important factor. I get to use the squirrel rifle for small game during a big part of the year so I can play with a muzzle loader and go hunting, too. I have an 1861 Springfield .58 that's fun but the only thing you can hunt with it is big game, practically anyway, so it doesn't get nearly the quality time with it's owner the .32 does. If theres any way to swing acquiring a .32, you won't regret it. (Unless it won't group, of course) I bought a second one for my son when he was a kid. It was not a Tennessee Squirrel Rifle from Dixie like mine but shot just as well. He still has it.
