Pit Bull Tex Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 HP 38 or W 231.What else can I use? I can't find either one os these.
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Which .32? For H&R mags I've used Bullseye, Unique and VV N-320. Wife likes the N-320 the best.
Pit Bull Tex Posted February 10, 2021 Author Posted February 10, 2021 I will look for all of these.I have some W 296 that feeds great in the 550.I can't find any data for it for 32s.
Mudflat Mike, SASS #20904 Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Been using Red Dot and 700X for years, like 'em both
Burn Through Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 I use 16.5 grains of 3 f goex in 32-20 with a 100 grain bullet works good , but have to do some clean up after I shoot them but that is not bad . GOOD LUCK
Ozark Okie Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Pit Bull, I can only relate my experience. I used Trail Boss when I was shooting 38/357 and because I had it, l looked up 32 loads when I decided to go with 32 caliber. So far, I have fired a couple hundred rounds that all worked fine. - Trail Boss - 2.2 - 2.5 grains - RNFP 115gr - Starline 32 caliber brass - Federal small pistol primers YMMV, but this has worked well for me so far. I'm leaning towards the slightly heavier loads (2.5) to get a better chamber seal. Good Luck OO
Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 2.4 Trail Boss 78 gr bullet
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Pit Bull, you didn't specify WHICH .32, but if its for .32 H&R cases, here are my favorites: Load data listed works great for bullet weights 78 gr up to 100 gr. 1. Clean Shot 3.0 - 3.2 gr Meters better than any powder I've tried and super consistent in its velocities 2. Red Dot 3.0 - 3.2 gr another great powder 3. Bullseye 2.8 gr Best accuracy and probably the cleanest. 4. Titegroup 2.6 gr If you close your eyes, TiteGroup is as good as the other 3 in all aspects. I've tested Unique (3.0 gr) and Universal (3.0 gr) with good results, BUT..... not nearly as well as I like the other 4 powders I listed above. Again, these powders and listed charges worked VERY WELL in bullet weights from 78 to 100 grains, in the 32 H&R case. ..........Widder
Pit Bull Tex Posted February 10, 2021 Author Posted February 10, 2021 Thanks Widder.The problem is just finding any powder.
Three Foot Johnson Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 I use Unique in both .32 H&R mag and .32-20, but I came across an 8# jug of Red Dot not too long back, so with Widder's glowing endorsement, I might have to give it a try.
Sedalia Dave Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Which flavor of 32 are you reloading? What bullet weight? What powders do you have on hand right now?
Tom Bullweed Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 90-100 grain in .32 H&R mag: Titegroup 2.7 gr Reddot 3.2 gr W-231 I like .32s at around 900 fps to get enough recoil so the hammer rolls back to my thumb.
Snake-eye, SASS#45097 Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 I’ve been using .32 S&W long brass in my Rugers for about 4 years using the following with very good success. 78 gr coated and lead bullets. Any of these loads have been able to take down shotgun knock down targets as well as plates. They provide good ring on steel for spotters as well. T. B. 1.8 - 2 gr Win 244 2 - 2.1 gr Red Dot 2.1 gr Clays 2.2 gr.
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Which .32? Unique works well. OLG
Polecat Joe Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 I use 1.9 grs of Clays for a 90 gr bullet
Big Timber SASS #19724Life Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Bullseye, Tight group,800 X All have worked well for me

Old Man Graybeard Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 I have been loading 32 S&W Long with 1.7 of Bullseye and a 100 grain bullet. Grandson has been taking down knockdowns easier than some peoples 38 loads
Captain Bill Burt Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 For my wife's pistols I load .32 H&R magnum cases, federal small pistol primers, 105 grain bullet in front of 2.3 of Clays.
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 For .32 S&W, .32 S&W Long, .32-20 and rounds for my Nagant revolver using reformed .32-20 brass, I use Trailboss.
Pit Bull Tex Posted February 10, 2021 Author Posted February 10, 2021 I have trail Boss ,Clays and W 296. 32 H&R cases I have some 32 S & W longs also.
Krazy Kajun Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 I've used 2.3 gr Clays and a 100gr bullet in .32 mag case. I also have used Universal Clays with good results. Kajun

High Spade Mikey Wilson Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 32-20, 2.3 gr Trail Boss, 100 gr bullet is what I shoot.
