Default black powder .32 s&w cartridges

I thought I would pass this on if anyone is interested. I have been having great fun shooting my .32 2nd model DA topbreak with the following black powder load. 4.5 g by weight of Groex FFFg with a 76 gr Hunter supply .313 cast bullet on top . When seated to an overall length of .830 there is powder compression of almost 1/8th of an inch.The bullet comes already lubed and I have not been sizing them. The load is quite accurate at practicle ranges of say 20 feet. There is a nice puff of smoke , very mild . Just like 1880 again!
