@salvadore: I haven't chronographed them, but relying on manuals and handloader magazine,my jacketed loads should be running around 1500 - 1600 ft/sec. I don't shoot cast bullets in the marlin .32-20 very much. Cast bullets are mostly reserved as a plinking load for my ruger sp101 in .32 H&R. I buy the cast bullets in bulk, and they are not gas checked, like yours, and so I try to keep velocities around 900 ft/sec to prevent excessive leading.
Time does fly. It seems like yesterday, not 40 years ago, when I bought my first centerfire rifle: a remington 788 chambered for .222 rem.
