32 H&R Mag 1st Range session

azklmsr · April 16, 2011, 05:57 PM

Picked up a barely used Single Six in 32 H&R. I tried my first loads with this gun today

1) 4 grains of Unique under a 100 gr LSWC
2) 11 grains of H110 under an 85 gr HXTP

WOW

50 yards, iron sight groups under 2 inches!

Any other experiences with this one?

AROUND 10M rounds through four of 'em. Good little sixguns.

32 S&W Long is nearly the same cartridge.

It is more sensitive to changing in powder charge than 25acp.

Seriously, 0.1 gr increments for the 32.

I have tried H110 with 71, 76, 85, 110 gr and gave up.

I found that 85 gr and working up LIL'GUN or 800X were the best.

But I just have a few hours of the reloading station next to the shooting station and experimenting.

I'm running the same load, seated to the cannelure, in my .327 Blackhawk. Out of the 5.5" barrel, it's pushing 1,300 fps. I like it, and my wife loves it.

As for your Unique load... I'm running a bit hotter than that.

But my cast lead bullets are at a BHN of 22. I'll encounter pressure issues before I encounter leading issues with those bullets.
