Default 32 HR 98 Gr wadcutters anyone?

I'm really stumped trying to figure out a load using Titegroup and 98 Gr.cast wadcutters for 32 HR cases. I used a search to no avail.
Anyone have a favorite they want to share? I also have Unique available.

Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook: Titegroup 1.8gr=772fps -2.1gr=828fps. Titegroup has become favorite in 32 S&W Long

2.5 grains of Unique should work OK.

4 lbs of powder should go a long way with that load.

Make sure that your load is for cast wc not swedged. Depending on hardness you could approach the swc of the same weight allowing for the deeper seating and longer bearing surface.

Which load are you referring to? The load I mentioned is for a cast WC straight out of the Handbook for 32 H&R, my use of Titegroup in 32 S&W Long is a different load/bullet.

I use nothing but Titegroup for the .32 long, .32H&R or .327 Federal. I have loaded the .32H&R with a 92g full wadcutter over 2.0 grains of Titegroup. I never checked them with a chronograph though. It was a good enough load but I decided to use the 92 grainers in my .32longs instead. I always used Winchester small pistol standard primers with excellent ignition and burn.
