Hi All,
I'm currently looking to reload .32 s&w (short) for my old top break US Revolver Co. I plan to use a 76 grain .311 lead bullet with Unique powder. I was also only able to get small Magnum pistol primers which I don't think will made a big difference because I plan to load it extremely light.
I want to load it as lightly as I can I actually primmed brass and seeded a bullet in one without loading any powder. I fired out of curiosity to see what would happen and to see if the revolvers firing pin would strike hard enough. I was very surprised because the bullet actually left the barrel and appeared to grab the riffling all around.
I can't really find much load data on it I was thinking of using somewhere between .5 grain to 1 grain. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks!
