What did you do at your reloading bench today?

Are you going to use a small amount of powder in those galley loads Hatch

Mostly likely as that seems to be the recommended method. First I’ll try both a standard and magnum primer alone and then add a little bit of powder. Seems like the suggested amount is a 22lr case full. Love that exact science. Bullseye is recommended but I don’t have any. I do have Unique and Power Pistol which are pretty close to Bullseye on the burn chart.

Nice bunch of brass. Remember the .32 ACP. is semi rimmed and will work in most .32 revolvers.

I have always heard that but never tried it until yesterday. As I plan to shoot these round ball gallery loads in my Ruger SP 101 327 I tried some 32 acp ammo in it. Extracted perfectly.

I wonder if they would also fit/shoot/cycle in a Henry 327 Fed Mag

32 ACP will also fit/shoot in old black powder 32 revolvers, but not a good idea. Those old revolvers can't take the pressure of a modern 32 ACP ammo.

A .22 short case full of bullseye always worked for me. Reddot is almost the same burning rate.

I thought about that too. I’m guessing that with the low velocity of my gallery load the ball may not clear the 20” barrel.

loaded 50 rounds of 200 grain 38-55 using benchmark.

Got bored, made another 50 38-55 200 grainers.

Ive been workin with 9mm and three different pistols. Two different powders, Unique and HS-6. I also have 231 which did do well in one of my 3 pistols. But Im trying to find one for all three. CZ TS 2 CZ75 B Tactical and a Springfield Ronin 1911. The 1911 isnt performing well at all. I took it to a gunsmith here locally I found to have hime check it out and see if he can get it right. I have run about 14 different loads through it with those powders and a 115 Berrys and some xtreme 124 FMJ. My CZs will shoot 1 inch groups with 5 rounds off the bags at 15 yards with the right powder. So far Unique is leading by a very little. HS-6 works well also. I havent taken any pics of targets with them but today i also took out the Marlin 336 38-55. I shot a couple of targets with it as I put a Sig Romeo red dot on it to play with. I dont really like the red to much and I may change it to a green reflex in the near future.

First Pic is 18 gr 5744 with a 245gr cast
Second pic is 10 gr of Unique with the same cast bullet. Both were shot at 50 yards off the bags. Both targets were 5 rounds. That 10 gr load might be a keeper

[DsGrouse]

Fwiw, i've never got plated berrys or xtreme bullets to shoot worth a rats rear end.

For 9mm, i like clean shot and bullseye
