With practice and good loading you can kill a squirrel at 75yards with a .32
I have a .32 Flint and I can split business cards at 15 yards with it, golfballs
at 25 yards are a lot of fun to shoot as well.
Mine shoots a .310 ball pillow tick patch and 10-15 grains of swiss depending on
what I am doing. I prime the pan with 3 grains GOEX 4f and use black english
flints.
Figgure out how to get closer to the squirrel and shooting will be much easier

Anybody shot a .32 cal or have knowledge of them. The local sporting
goods store in town has a Traditions Crockett for $279.
I am specifically interested in the range and accuracy. I want to use
it to shoot ground squirrels this spring. A 75 yd shoot is common.
