.32 rimfire Rolling Block with heeled bullets and reloadable cases

David LaPell · Jan 19, 2018

Today I finally got out with my Remington #4 Rolling Block in .32 Rimfire out today now that it warmed up. I am still using the reloadable cases from Dixie Gun Works that use .22 blanks or in my case, I took .22 Shorts, pulled the bullet and powder and used them as the primer. The load uses blackpowder and I have had good results with FFG Triple 7, and this time I used a 85 grain .315" heeled bullet. I took it to the range out to 25 yards and got a pretty decent group. I am cleaning the cases, and will load them back up and I want to be out in the woods after squirrel and grouse either Sunday or Monday.

Looks great! Keep up the good work! It looks like small game will be on the menu soon!

I think you might help the prolonged accuracy with more bullet lube. Since there isn't any room for a "lube cookie" under the bullet, you can try lubing the bullet externally. A common method for this is dipping the nose of the cartridge in Tallow (usually sheep fat) or good ole Crisco! I keep a small tin of Crisco with each of my shooting kits for 45=70 & 38-55. and a friend is doing the same with his 25-20 Single Shot and 25-20 Winchester single shot rifles.
