Blaze_Dawson Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Hello everyone. I'm a new cowboy. I've been shooting CAS for a little over 2 months. I have a full set of .357 guns, but I'd like to shoot 32-20. We already had a S&W 1928 Police Positive., and I have the dies for it. Makes sense to me to also add to my guns with the 32-20 since it's actually a cowboy round from the time. I have Googled cowboy load data many times, as well and searched this forum. I am unable to find any significant load data for this round. I am curious if anyone could share some of their tested loads with me. Right now I am loading with Titegroup. Trailboss is pretty impossible to locate right now. And since I already have the Titegroup, I'd like to load it for the 32-20 also. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Welcome Blaze. 32-20 is a nice round, and historical as you mentioned. Very well suited to BP as well. The factory data for Titegroup is at Hodgdon.com . With a 115gr bullet, the range is 2.7 to 3.0 gr of Titegroup, for 815-857fps out of their 5.5" barrel.

H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Lotsa good guns for the .32-20. I personally have a Winchester 73, a Winchester 92, a Colt Lightning, an antique Colt 7.5" that started life as a .44-40 that someone converted at some point, a 1st Gen Bisley, and a 3rd Gen SAA. It is a great little cartridge, and fun to shoot. My preferred loading is .313" 100 Grain RNFP bullet over 3.0 Grains of Trailboss. But, Trailboss is all but impossible to come by these days. Next time I need to reload, I'll have to find a new powder or by then, hope that Trailboss is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40Chev Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Isn't the Police Positive a double action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
