I know where's there's a good home for anything Cherokee or SenacaI too have several Senecas, a .36 and two .45’s . I also have a .45 Cherokee and an unfired .32 barrel that I picked up from a gun shop in California quite a few years ago. For whatever reason, I’ve really only used the two .45 Senecas, taking a couple of mulie bucks, one mulie doe, and a bighorn ewe. The .36 Seneca has a very nice stick and beautifully colored lock. That’s one I really need to get out and shoot, but in any case, it’ll probably stay with me for a while along with one of the .45’s. I’m thinking hard about passing the others along to fund some other guns one of these days. Not mentioned yet, but I also have several T/C molds that are becoming harder to find, including two in-the-package .32 maxiball molds. Talk about something that’s really hard to find!
If your maxi mold takes a while, try shooting patched .38 pistol bullets. I shot .457 patched bullets from my Hawken once in a while, worked well for me, although the recoil (405gr bullet, 70gr FF) was a bit sobering.I had been looking for awile and found a Cherokee here on the Forum earlier this year. Top quality you would expect from TC. Compared to the Renegade"its big brother"it feels like a toy. Working on getting a Maxiball mould fabricated as the ones that TOW sell are about 20gr heavier and a little different in shape. They also sell a Lee 6 cavity and that is yet another shape. Lot of info on people shooting .45cal and cracking them, Im just going to keep shooting it with the .32 barrel. The .32 Cherokee does have a 1 in 30 twist not sure about the .36cal and the .45cal is 1 in 48. I had been leaning towards a Crockett and what I read was the kit guns are so so as far as fit, alot about the hammers not lining up. Some did some didnt and when people called the response was very slow. The ones that were factory made seemed to have great reviews. They are 1 in 48 and everything I read about them even the kit guns after everything was sorted out is THEY REALLY SHOOT WELL!! I think the bug that got me to search for my Cherokee is I have many other TCs and new I needed the Baby of the Bunch! Hope this helps. If I didnt cover something ask away!
