Powder to load 32s with.

[Pit Bull Tex]

HP 38 or W 231.What else can I use? I can't find either one os these.

[Michigan Slim]

I use Red Dot and like it much.

[Pit Bull Tex]

Any chance of finding that?

 

[Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971]

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]

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.

 

[Pit Bull Tex]

Any one  in SASS  sell powder?

 

[Mudflat Mike, SASS #20904]

Been using Red Dot and 700X for years, like 'em both

[Burn Through]

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]

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

2.4 Trail Boss 78 gr bullet

[Widder, SASS #59054]

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]

Thanks Widder.The problem is just finding any powder.

 

[Three Foot Johnson]

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]

Which flavor of 32 are you reloading?

 

What bullet weight? 

 

What powders do you have on hand right now?

[Tom Bullweed]

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]

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]

Which .32?

Unique works well.

OLG 

[Polecat Joe]

I use 1.9 grs of Clays for a 90 gr bullet

[Big Timber SASS #19724Life]

Bullseye, Tight group,800 X

All have worked well for me

I use 1.9 grs of Clay Dot for 115 gr 32H&R Mag.  Brings most any knockdowns at the old Winter Range and the old EOT shoots.

[evil dogooder]

I've seen promo used as well

[Old Man Graybeard]

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]

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]

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]

I have trail Boss ,Clays and W 296. 32 H&R cases I have some 32 S & W longs also.

 

[Krazy Kajun]

I've used 2.3 gr Clays and a 100gr bullet in .32 mag case.  I also have used Universal Clays with good results.

can't believe one of my favorite powders hasn't been mentioned yet... fffg

[Bailey Creek,5759]

Clays works well.

[Cumberland Mtn John SASS#40593]

I always loaded my 32 S&W long and 32 H&R Magnums with Bullseye.

Must have missed that one.

That makes two of us that are using the correct powder.

Better yet in those small cases, FFFFG.  Plenty of smoke and boom.

[High Spade Mikey Wilson]

32-20, 2.3 gr Trail Boss, 100 gr bullet is what I shoot.

w296 is a powder that is more suitable for magnum loads in larger cases.
