I was considering a .38/55 prior to the .35, was advised the bore wasn't suited to any existing jacketed bullets and I'd have to shoot cast, not a problem as I figure to get a copy of the RCBS 200 GC...

I recently picked up a 336 Marlin in .35 Remington for Cowboy Silhouettes, given the success people have reported with heavy slugs in .357 Magnum revolvers I estimate a 200gr cast at 1500-1600fps...
WW572, again with 71gr FMJ bullets and Remington 5.5 primers through the Beretta 81, only 3 shots each, avg fps/ES/# of shots registered.
2.3gr 692/30/3
2.5gr 771/45/3
2.7gr 848/2/2
2.9gr...
Finished up at 2.9gr and 920fps, extreme spread over 6 shots was 83fps. At 2.7gr I got 884fps and a spread of 29fps over 6 shots, these all through a Beretta Model 81.
Low on those bulk 71gr...
Low charges have given low speeds, 1.5gr BE-86 475fps, 1.7gr 580fps, 1.9gr 600fps in the M81 and they all ejected fine. I'll be buying a new recoil spring for that gun. 5 shots with each charge,...
Good information in the files from Outpost, one article mentions case dimensions and I've found the rounds that didn't chamber are PPU. Some of them fed, fired and ejected fine along with others,...
Thanks, the PM is on the way!
I've got Titegroup, plan on that being the primary powder, but always like having options especially those that have proven themselves in the cartridges I've loaded...
Thank you, does that program list 2400 powder? It's been found to be a solid performer with heavy cast bullets, to the surprise of some including me as it's another slow burner.
Anybody tried any of those powders in the .32 ACP? Just got some dies and have a box of 71gr FMJ to start, first loadings are BE-86 at 1.5gr and 1.7gr to try on the next range trip. Have those 3...

Someday I'd like mine to be a .300 Savage. They've done the .250Sav, doesn't seem like the .300 will be any time soon.
A S&W-stamped .44-40 sounds like as good an explanation as any.
I have heard from a friend who should be in a position to know for certain, that Federal and Winchester will be releasing their pistol bullets as components. Not any cast in .41 but the 175gr...

Have Happy Triggers on both of mine. When I bought the .32-20 it came with a very light trigger pull. Asked the friend who put me on to it and he said owner had simply installed the trigger with no...
I tried a pound of it with a variety of bullets, it was most accurate in a 7.5" Blackhawk barrel with 170gr Speer bullets at 1350-1400fps, not so great with 210gr xtp, 200gr Speer half-jackets and...
Same here, 9gr with a Lee 230gr LFN cast in .41 Magnum.
My only .32 caster is the Single Seven Mjolnir which would seem to be a great option but I've been having less than fantastic results with it in an H&R Ruger and .32-20 Marlin. Have been working in...

I think this is pretty much a dud mold compared to the commercial bullets available for .32's, but I do intend to keep working with it in my .32-20 and might squeeze some down a little for use in a...
My rifle's a .41 and HS6 works well with the group buy Lee 230gr LFN from several years back. A load using 800x is a little slower and maybe more accurate, but HS6 I trust through the powder measure...

Have been trying out some loads with HP and solid versions of this bullet, my two uses for the caliber are a Marlin 32-20 and Single Six .32 H&R, primarily the former for silhouettes.
Mine's a...
Have any here had a New Vaquero turned into a .41 Spl/Mag? I've got a .357 NV and take-off .41 Blackhawk barrel of 6.5", would be interested in a .41Spl NV of 5.5".
I'd like to see the definition of "stopping" from which the data is generated. Energy and velocity can't be the criteria.
The Sierra 170gr JHC .41 bullet has been called tough, I put one through a small deer at the diaphragm. Didn't blow a big exit hole, but it didn't expand and stop in whatever amount of fluids it...
Buying used to get something they do not make currently is something you could know.
I keep looking at the S&W 16-4 and they're up there a ways. Not produced for many years, so that makes some sense. It's about to the point where I would not pay what's required to get any of the...
