Don't try this at home but here is what I am doing With a pair of model 16 S&W' s. Remember that these guns are made on the same frame as the model 19 a 357 & that they are chambered for the 32 mag. so there is a lot more steel in them .
I couldnt find any loads I liked in the manuals all the powder was too hot to get a full power load . that because the H&R guns cant handle the pressure of a really hot load.
So now what am I doing well,I've gotten up to 8grs. of 2400
& 8.5grs of IMR2447 and now getting 1500 fps from the 100gr bullet out of a 32 mag & still no signs of Pressure. Cases just fall out & primers are still rounded.
Think I should try for more?
