There isn't a lot of data on the 32-35S/M but it's sort of a scaled down 32-40. I start with a conservative comparison of case volume per bullet base area to get a percentage difference that I use for both bullet weight and powder weight. Since there is quite a bit of data for the 32-40 in pressure ranges that suit old guns (mine is a Wurfflein), there are lots of places to start. I've had decent results with a 155 gn #2 alloy swaged to .308" (.3065" bore) - 8.9 AA9 - 9.0 2400, 140 gn #2 - 9.5 2400 - 6.9 Blue Dot - 9.4 2400 and 140 gn 1/25 alloy - 10.0 300MP - 11.5 I4227, but, of course, I'm still looking for smaller groups (aren't we all...). Your mileage may vary, of course. The 32-35 S/M is a really cute cartridge and almost always elicits, "It's a what?" when you tell folks what it is.

I have a Stevens #107 in .32-25.  I use .30-30 cases sized down in a .32-40 die and cut off to 1.888."  The load I settled on is 0.5 cc of SR-4759 duplexed with 1.6 cc of Swiss 1FG.  The bullet I use is the 165-gr Winchester .32-40, sized to .319," my barrel being that diameter rather than .310" as the books say.

Thanks guys. I don't have a 32-35 as of now. Am looking at one. Just wanted to do alittle homework to learn about it and gain some knowledge before hand. Dale.
