My first 32-20 loads...

Made up 30 rounds to test in the Winchester 1892 and the matching Cimarron Model P six shooter both in 32-20 caliber.
Had to work a bit to get the Redding sizing and profile crimp dies to work correctly on my Dillon 550 press. Grinding off about .100 off the entry end let me get the case shoulder moved down a bit so the load would chamber all the way in the Cimarron revolver cylinder. Ran into that issue with 44-40 and is something the Uberti made revolvers are noted for. Can also get a nice crimp without the case plate bottoming out on the die before a crimp could start. Anyway using the Missouri Bullets 120 gr. coated RNFP over top of 4.5 gr. of Unique which should hopefully be a good round for both guns.
On left is a Black Hills 32-20 and to the right my loads.
