noddy,

Be very careful when shooting a .32-20 revolver! Because of the long, thin case the cartridge is more susceptible to "squibbing" and leaving a bullet stuck in the barrel! If this is not noticed and another round is fired it will result in a badly bulged barrel. Over the past 60 years I have seen dozens of .32-20 revolvers with bulged barrels! Try to use bulkier powders such as Unique and Universal, WSF, and similar as the bulk reduces the likelihood of having a squib! Second, try to not shoot sharply downhill as if the powder shifts to the front of the case this increases the chances of a squib.

Note too that Brian Pierce's reference to "Universal Clays" is no longer valid! There used to be three Hodgdon powders using what they refer to as "Clays technology". They were International Clays, Universal Clays and just Clays. there was too much confusion in the reloading community and these have been renamed simply International, Universal and Clays. What Pearce was referring to was what is now Universal! Clays has a much faster burning rate.

The cases are thinner than many cartridges and more easily damaged. Just be careful when loading to be sure you don't bump the case mouth on the loading die. it will damage the case. This is best loaded on a single-stage loading press.

Fun gun and cartridge, you will enjoy it. I have more .32-20 guns than any other caliber.
