Are you sure you want to do this? You really will not gain much, and a .32 Cal is excellent all around small game gun.

I wish I had a .32 for small game. . ..
 
If you plan to hunt small game you will find the 36 pretty hard on the meat you plan to eat.
 
I had a .36 cal. H/A underhammer for 2-3 yrs and kiled alot of squirrels and a few groundhogs with it.. as long as the squirrels were hit in the head or neck from front to back damage was nil, but if you hit them through the shoulder then you lost pretty much the whole front end...only reason Im wanting to switch is the available buckshot in bulk at cheaper prices for the .36.

I think before I would change calibers I would get a mold and just cast a couple hundred ball some afternoon. But to each their own.

I always thought that .32 was about the perfect small game rifle. Then a person I know from Rendezvous got a .40 caliber GMB and that is an amazing roundball shooter. He can also hunt deer legally in Wis with it. He actually hunts coyote with it. And says it does not wreck the hides. He's into furs.
