32 H&R Mag load recommendations needed…..

Ordered some Hornady 85 & 100 gr XTP to try along with a box of 75 gr Rimrock LFN bullets that I originally ordered for .32 acp. I'll be loading for a 432 UC, so I'm thinking a good place to start will be BE-86 using Unique load data to work up.

Report your results when you get a chance please. Lord knows there is a dearth of .32 data out there.
 
Will do. I also bought some Federal 85 gr XTP and 85 gr Hydra Shok Deep that I will chrono for comparison.

Here is some. Of course some of the powers are no longer obtainable

That’s a good resource I was looking at this morning!

I also found that NOE mold maker has load data on his site.
 
I was looking to see if anyone had used Clays in lieu of Bullseye type target loads in the .32 H&R. I only saw it with lighter bullets. Well I do have some Missouri Bullet 78 gr RN that I bought for the .32 S&W long but they are a bit mediocre. Even worse was the boxes of Cast Performance 85 SWC I bought from Midway. Utter trash, all round bottomed with various fill out. I was waiting on my Arsenal 98 SWC keith mold.

Those Rimrock’s ought to be great. I wish I still had my FA Model 97 in .32 H&R Magnum 🙁
 
Boy, I just got back from my little range. I tried four loads. Two with my Keith type 98 SWC and two with an MP 314-640 with the flat point pins in. That MP mold is so far the best thing I have found. It’s handily beating the Keith type but I may have not found the right load for the WW alloy Keith bullet. Today with the Keith I tried a firmer load of W231, 3.5 grains and a 4.4 load of AA5. The MP mold loads were the same AA5 load of 4.4 grains and the variable was one was the leftover bullets cast of 30:1 and the other was WW alloy, both sized .314(+) with 50/50 lube. That MP mold is really making me glad because I thought maybe I was just losing my visual acuity to be an accurate shooter anymore.
