Traditions .32 cal. crockett rifle

[Newtire]

A couple years ago, I shot one thru the lungs and blew the offside lung halfway out of it's chest. This was with a hard cast 260 grain bullet going just under 1800 fps out of a CVA single shot in .444 Marlin. He went 150 yards before piling up. Range was around 15-20 yards. This was one of those not-so-wimpy Idaho Palouse coyotes. That thing was unbelievably tough. I'm sure you could kill one with the .32 but I'd rather shoot the next one with a varmint load out of a .223 or .243. I have a Crockett and it is one very accurate rifle.

I just picked up a Crockett .32 and I have a question. Where can someone get a nipple wrench that will fit in the small recess to get the nipple out. I have at least three wrenches and they are all to big. I called Muzzleloader.com from where I bought the rifle and they were no help. It is a great looking rifle and I can't wait to shoot it. Any advise?

You might try one of the nipple wrenches that is made for a cap and ball pistol.

Track of the Wolf offers two. One for tight nipple recesses and one for larger nipple recesses.
