32 Magnum in Handliader this issue...

- No text -

beautiful Wichita Classic .300 GNR so I can really show out. Also of late I got in my little .32 Pocket Positive, and bought another .32 Auto (nothing more than a semi-rimmed .32 S&W).

I have a good 120 gr. mould but needed a little lighter for the .32 ACP. My 100 gr. modded LEE RNGC does OK loaded appropriately for the blow back antique guns. Runs 900 fps (Colt 1903 4") being slicker than the 70 gr. FMJ. I might mill off another bit to make it lighter still and PB. The LEE 113 gr. FNGC is pretty good too. Milled to a PB with it's ample flat nose it would be interesting.

*A time or two, with some powders, I had inconsistent drops. Thought of buying one of those benchrest small drum powder measures. How do you make out Huey?

I have a urge for a SAA in .32-20 of late. Still have a 9" full bull Encore .327 tube too, bet not many of those around.

I had a couple .32 H&R that were not too bad. The DA that loaded like a SA with color case frame was not too bad aside from it's horrific trigger. I had 4-5 of them, 686? Remember it was an antique .22 platform with a .5-shot .32 Mag. shoehorned in there. Cool beans back in the day. But those are past.

The SSM platform guns are really neat nowdays. I had a half dozen of them too. Got tired of making .312 bullets special. But great guns. No doubt I'll get another some day. Gary's custom he made me is a bit hefty for a .32 but shoots either .308 or .312 just fine. Maybe I should just run .311/.312's and go on.
