32-20 load tests using Unique and BE-86

I tried for an hour to post up a range ammo test of my 32-20 loads and it never sticks again. Maybe the pictures are not loading right but it's the same way I have done it.
Unique at 4.5 gr. with the 120 gr. Missouri bullet look like the best for the Winchester 1892 and the new Cimarron Model P six shooter.
BE-86 at 5 gr. was a wider group but had about 100 FPS more speed.

Maybe back the BE load to 4.5?

Might try that too. BE-86 is a bit slower burning so you can load it a little hotter for more velocity at around same pressure. Got this load data for an Brian Pearce article from April/May 2023 Handloader magazine. He states that the later post War Colt SAA and modern Uberti SAA clones can handle 20,000 psi loads fine especially the Uberti since they use same frame and cylinder steel and size as 357 Magnum version. My loads not near that.

Yes I do have some 2400 and that might work better in the long barreled Winchester 1892. Also looking at the Rim Rock 125 gr. SWC that is the Keith design.

Might try some 4198 if you have any, it's worked well in the little 25-20 of mine.
A couple of 50 yd targets.
