Those stocks look great! What did you do/clean them with?

Ya, Ventura. There is also BuffaloBore HV 32-20. About $2.00 a round. I'm in agreement with DWalt that around the turn of the century 32-20 owners loaded and shot the HV stuff in revolvers, or at least carried it. Would have been the first "magnum." The cylinders are beefy enough to handle it...

Let's get this cleared up once and for all. 32 Winchester.... 32W.C.F..... 32-20... IS A RIFLE CARTRIDGE. (Period) It is a "pistol like" rifle cartridge. Just like 38-40 and 44-40.. they are all RIFLE CARTRIDGES chambered in pistols. They all came first in rifles. They have larger and thicker...

Not sure but I think around 1915 for your HE. Someone will come here and be more exact than I am. Yours is not heat treated, believe that started around 85000 serial number. Doesn't seems to matter, there is a lot of metal on the cylinder. Nice to see one in good nick! How is the bore? Mine...

I tried HP38 years ago and thought it didn't fill the case enough and stuck with Unique. Now using Herco. HS6 might be good as well. Have you pushed a .313 bullet through the cylinder throats vs .314 bullet? My HE .313 drops through but the .314 needs to be pushed through with a pencil. IMO...

It's a known fact that the LA county sheriff does not want to issue carry permits. It's been this way for years. So we have to carry illegally, just like the bangers do. Carry a beater because you will never get it back. I am happy this is being looked into.

That's a good day/report! I'm shooting 5.0 gr Herco with the 118gr bullet, but out of a Taylors/Uberti 1873 Cattleman 4.75 inch barrel, and it's hotter than my 4.3 grains of Unique. I won't shoot this Herco load out of my 1908 S&W HE. But it is still under the speed of sound. Probably similar...

I prefer the heavier bullets for 32-20. I am shooting Bear Creek Supply Bullets, 118gr .313 Although the last batch I bought measured .3145, and the weight was 122gr. But, the throats on my S&W are .314 and groove diameter is .314 and they shoot the best!

Thanks for the report. I'm going to stick with Unique and Herco.

Does look like 44-40 from the size of the rims. Probably shooting a .430 44mag JHP bullet.. a no-no IMO. Ubertis are strong, but they have tight chambers and accurate groove diameter.... at least the one I have does. A little bit of overcharge... oversize jacketed bullet.... ?

Ya, I picked up 4 lbs of Herco a couple months ago and I'm loading 118gr Bear Creek RNFP with 5 grains of Herco. A little more velocity than 4.3 grs of Unique..... Herco's brother. As far as the T7 goes, I think you should use FFF instead of FF. The grains of BP by volume are different than by...

No eye protection needed. They appear to be making Winchester White Box 9mm.

That's a nice one! $425 is a good price.

That's some good shootin' I usually load Unique. 4.3 grs with a 118 Bear Creek Supply bullet, safe for all guns. I think I chrono'd it once at 875fps from 4 inch S&W HE. I'm not metering my powder. I use the Lee dippers. Unique and Herco don't meter well. But I just bought 4 lbs of Herco from a...

Never said it did.
