Hi Guys,
I recently got an old .32 s&w (short) top break lemon squeezer marked US Revolver Co. It is actually in pretty good shape and feels strong, keeping in mind most of these top breaks are beat up pretty bad.
I am looking into reloading ammo and trying to shoot it, however, does anyone know if some of these revolvers were made for Black Powder only? Mine has a number on the trigger guard in the 85k range. My research tells me Iver and Johnson started US Rev. Co in 1910, I would imagine that all these revolvers would be made for smokeless at that time but I am not sure?
Also, does anyone have any tips for reloading .32 s&w, I was thinking a light load of Unique or Bullseye with a .312 hard cast lead bullet 78gr. Does anyone have any experience?
Thank You!
