Hello all,
As I posted under "Single Shot Rifle" topic. My buddy picked up a High Wall in 32-40 made by K R Breisen of Warsaw, NY. 
Now the fun begins. Brass, bullets, dies, etc. came with rifle. The bullets are round nose 200gr. lead.
Being powder supply challenged he loaded some with IMR 4198, (19.5 and 18.1grs.) and some with IMR 4895.(27.5 and 28grs.).
14grs. of 4227 has been recommended. 
I've been shooting long enough to know that two rifles made exactly alike can sometimes like different ammo, but does anyone have a favorite pet load they swear by as a starting point?
Favorite bullet/weight, charge?
Gotta start somewhere but at the price of powder any head start would be appreciated. 
Input on card thickness/material. Lube disc between bullet and card? He's to lazy to paper patch, but open to suggestions. Thanks, Mike

Calledflyer, I'm unsure about seater. He mentioned a bunch of stuff but not that.
The old guru who started imparting his wisdom to me suggested not to really"seat" or crimp the bullet, but chamber the round till the bullet contacts rifling so as to avoid "jump". 
He had several rifles that he only took a couple shells to the range for a day of shooting. He had them notched, would reload the same piece of brass between shots and index in rifle the same way. I thought it was a bit extreme, but it worked for him.

My favorite Powder for Schuetzen Rifles is 4759, not because I know it is the best but because I trust it. I can with a little effort find a load of 4759 that will shoot super. But what I really like about it is that it is a bulky Powder and takes up a lot of room in a Schuetzen Caliber case. I use between 12.5 Gr.
to 15.5 Gr in a my 32-40 Rifles. You cannot throw a double charge! It will fill the case to the top and flow over. If you do not notice that you should not be Loading. The same is true of 38-55 and 33-40 calibers. So that is why I like it. HTH Regards
FITZ.

Well, 4759 is also one of my favorites in the .32-40, but with it being harder to acquire nowadays, I left it out of my post. By all means, try it if you can. But, 4227 is also a reliable choice, particularly for starting out. One needs to be careful measuring most any powders, so just be aware and take precautions not to overcharge. The sticky here about favorite loads has some for this round, and is worth a look. Have fun, be safe. Let us all know how it's going. Merry Christmas.

Not too shabby Frank. 1.2" average of 5 five shot groups at 200yds.? Must have been an offhand match huh?

14.5 of 4227 is about a 32/40 200 bullet standard. In practice I go up or down just a bit depending on conditions. 14.5 is always the starting point

Thanks to you all for your help and advice (and Squirrel Pizza thank you for introducing me to this site!  I posted some pictures of my new acquisition on Squirrel Pizza's post he did for me under"Single Shot Rifles", "Questions about a high wall".

Sounds like I have a lot of learning to do (including patience)....  first 4 reloads of powder combinations got me nothing fantastic, mostly 2-3" with 5 shots at 100 yards.  One group was one inch, except for one round that drug group size to 2".  Neat rifle from another era.  I  am a long way from investing in breech starting, not even sure it's possible with high Combe and scope?

Holding out to get some 4227 powder...

I didn't realize what a new world my acquisition got me an opportunity to play in!  This is neat stuff. Hope I can learn to make it shoot well...

Thanks again to you all.

By the way, my groups were no wider than 1/2 inch. But the vertical dimension (generally 2 and as much as 3") was what varied and opened up all groups. That's not a possible sign of something is it? I use a trickle charger...and I'm not confident I seated bullet out far enough...I push round in with pinky finger but it's not real hard to push.

I'm a Rookie...thanks for help.
