32-20 update with 20-1 lead

This is a difficult time of year at our range, with fog/clouds limiting visibility.  Last week I got out with my new 20-1 certified lead bullets and a dwindling supply of Enforcer.  The bullets seated much easier, almost felt undersized; I'm really wondering what mixture I've been using from the radioisotope cores.  Shooting through fog at 100 yards, just being able to center my crosshairs on the diamond corners, got this 10-round group fired fairly rapidly with a heavy vest.  Good grief, WHEN will 4100/Enforcer be available?

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Nice shooting. So, is the powder charge a secret?

Pentz - You're shooting a 32-20 with a 208gr bullet?  I never heard of such a heavy bullet in a .32-20.

Sorry - left off the charge wt.  It was 9.6 gr under a pipe foam wad.  Good stuff that, and at the end of my session there was a small scatter of smooshed pipe foam in front of the bench.

For those that do not know the 32-20 CPA is blown out to a straight case and my Shilen lapped and gauged bore is .3201.  My bullets drop at .322 from a Hoch 205 mold.  MVs ran around 1200.

It looks like it's time to try out to 200.  You may find a somewhat hotter load does better. Just my experience.

Yah, 200 is the verifier!  Gonna be gone for a whitetail hunt in MN for a week and won't be at the range until mid-November.  Cold weather just may require a hotter charge.
