The 32-20 Winchester (32 Winchester Center Fire or WCF) was introduced in 1882 in Winchester's famed Model 1873. It is a mild-mannered cartridge firing a .312-inch bullet of 100 grains at 1210 feet per second. As such it is very marginal for deer-sized game, but is excellent for short-range use on small game and varmints and is extremely pleasant to shoot. It was a common chambering in lever-action and slide-action rifles and was also chambered to single-action and double-action revolvers. Marlin recently made a run of 32-20 and 25-20 Model 1894 rifles, and both Remington and Winchester continue to offer factory ammunition.
