Having (finally) corralled a 16-4 I finally starting hand-loading for it and the 2 32 HE Post War that I have, a 2" and a 3 1/4". I don't plan to reload for the 32 S&W for my 3 safety hammerless or my Mod 1 1/2 CF's. (That case is just too little for my old arthritic fingers). 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.
