I have found now over 500 rounds of 85 gr and 100 gr. JHP's and JSP's. After I finish up with another 100 of the HBWC's (bought a box of 1000 from Midway before the current panic buying stripped the shelves of most ammo). 2.3 gr 231 make the HBWC and accurate load, but a real powder puff. I plan to see just what I can develop for the JHP's. There are a couple > 1000 fps with cast bullets so I am betting the jacketed will be able to get up into that range also.

Lots of fun.
Look up some of the "Buffalo Bore" fodder (.32 H&R Magnum "heavy" loads.) If you want it to serve "nightstand duty" the BB .32 H&R Magnum will work VERY well!
