Well, I have a response.

In the interest of full disclosure, I will copy and paste the entire e-mail history, from the most recent to the earliest, judiciously leaving out the names of the innocent, or nearly so:

Mike -

Clays is too fast burning? Titegroup is faster, and you have loads for it for the .380. Seems odd. Almost seems like the load data for the .32 ACP shouldn't exist, since the only other sub .38 Special load I could find was for 9 mm, and then only once the bullet weight reached 115 grains.

Thanks. I'm disappointed, but thanks anyway.

Steve ????

Besides the fact that now I guess I get to build my own load from scratch with assistance from a friend with a chronograph.
