Dave does great work. He is also on the Targettalk forum. He has documented his work quite well, showing load development and 50 yd machine rest groups. 10 shot groups from 1" to 1.5".
But, it has been a long, hard grueling process.
Besides the twist rate on many Euro pistols, another potential headache is groove diameter. Depending on manufacturer, you might find anything from .308" to .314". That sort of discrepancy would cause enough problems in, say, a .45 Long Colt. In the small .32 S&W it can be a catastrophe. Just trying to match reloading dies and bullets to bore and chamber can be a nightmare. When the "stars align", however, it pays off in rewarding dividends.
