They initially came primed with small rifle primers. Which made some loads spike in pressure. I had a near 20% loss rate at first with forming .224-32FA. Best I managed was about 10%. I had zero loss making them from .32 H&R. Taffin concurred my strife as he had encountered the same issues. The brass may have needed some annealing but being brand new virgin who would have thought. Bob Baker did give me some helpful tips.

I managed to take my Muntjac with the FA97 in .224-32FA using a Hornady 40 gr. Varmint bullet at 2150 fps. It still didn't expand much if at all, since it is made to run 4500 fps from a .22-250 or .220 Swift.

Loading as a .257 it might have been different.

  - Gary has that in his .250 GNR, however - WB, 2025-09-17, 20:53
    - It’s unfortunate the 224-32 got in the way - Keith, 2025-09-18, 12:22

      - If it’s based on a Blackhawk, it caN - Keith, 2025-09-18, 12:19
        That might be something I'd pursue, an extra cyl. (nm) - WB, 2025-09-18, 14:57
