I purchaced a CVA squirrel rifle and am wondering what the barrel twist is and is it better to shoot round ball or conical bullets.

.310 roundball should work just fine.
Roundball it's all you need in a 32 cal

Mine both the 32 and 45 cal barrels are 1-48 twist i believe
I had a .32 CVA many moons ago and now have the CVA .36 squirrel rifle and, if I'm not mistaken, the were both 1:48. Both very accurate and reliable. I've only ever shot patched round balls in all my guns so can't comment on other bullets, but the PRB's have done a fine job in these smaller caliber rifles. Let us know how it turns out. The little CVA rifles are alotta fun.
The CVA squirrel rifle I had (and sold regretfully) had a 1:56" twist rate. It shot round ball extremely well.

The .32 I have is 1-48". Use a .310" - .311" ball with a lubed patch around .015" & 20 to 30 grains of 3F and go from there.
looks like roundball is the way to go Thanks
