New Reloader - .32 SWL - help

[drd]

Hi - I'm a new reloader. A very good friend brought me a Old but great Rockchucker Press, a practically new 10-10 RCBS scale (made by Ohous), a Little Dandy Powder measure, 1000 primers and a pound of Bullseye.
He also included Dandy rotors 1-9. I have the Dandy 0 and 00 rotors on order, which throw 1.7 and 2.2 gr of Bullseye.

I bought RCBS dies, loading trays, and 1000 Hornady 90 Gr lead lubed SWC.
After instruction, Joe and I loaded 12 rounds using the scale and 2 gr of Bullseye to see weather the 30 years old primers and powder were OK.
They fired perfectly and could not be told from the Fioshi WC SWL .32 which I mixed in with the reloads.

Now I am ready to reload without my far away buddy, and I can find little loading data for Hornady SWC and Bullseye. I know 2 gr are OK, but wonder will the 1.7 be too little or will the 0 rotor's 2.2 be too much. (Once fired Fioshi .32 SWL brass

I also have 100 .32 H&R Magnum brass which I will load later when I have more confidence.

Oh the revolver is a SW Model 632 3" which is for SWL, H&R, or .327 Mag

Any help appreciated.

Questions are: In data page I found it states 90 gr Lead with xx Bullseye, does that mean Round nose, flat nose, SWC as I bought??

I have read ABC's of Reloading, little info on the .32.

For target shooting accuracy at 50 feet, WW231 or WST at 1.6 - 1.8 grains with a 90 - 100 gr HBWC will do the trick. Use a slight roll crimp. BE is still a dirtier powder, but produces good groups with 1.8 - 2.0 grains.

Thanks

Thank you but you mention HBWC which gets seated all the way down.
I have Hornady 90 gr Semi WC seated half way down. Will the WC and SWC require different loads?

Will full wadcutters and swc require different loads?
Very much; YES if loaded to different lengths, the way semi and full wadcutters normally are.
