More Reloading

stickmakerI am having so much fun reloading for the .32 S&W. However, finding .312 bullets if difficult. I finally located a box of 500, but they're 115 grain LFP, which is kinda heavy for the cartridge. With a charge of 1.2 grains of Bullseye, seating to the cannelure puts the base of the bullet right on the small powder charge.
Now, that's not a problem, as long as it's not compressing the powder, which it doesn't seem to be; there's actually a bit of room. This sort of load actually improves the consistency of the powder burn.
This was demonstrated Monday, when I tried a few of these. Wow.
At twenty-five yards those heavy (for the cartridge) bullets just went right where I aimed, and hit with a solid whack.
I've made more, now. :-)
