SBBuyer that is a picture taken at my home range I believe while Barry was here living with myself and family and the fence is not hot. The electrical box you see in the picture was used to power the 100 yard moving backers we once used for the CBA Group matches of which are now long gone.

I wonder if that is a G7 BC.

If you'll look in the upper right corner of the report, it specifies G1.

.32 RKS 

14:1 twist 210 grain Spitzer
or
11.5 twist 235 grain Spitzer (heavier bullet less sensitive to wind)


The .32 RKS is a 357 Maximum case trimmed to 1.470" and tapered with a .223 FL sizing die after the cases are annealed.


Basically the .32 RKS is a rimmed .223 case that is cut off at the shoulder.

Shooting pistol loads in the .32 RKS rifle makes the recoil like shooting a rimfire; and you get great accuracy.

The larger case capacity results in less sensitivity to powder variations like the smaller .32 Miller.

If you do not want to make a modern accurate breech seating cartridge then use the traditional .32-40.

If i knew then what I know now I would have asked Paul to chamber my 32 in 32 Ideal. There is nothing wrong with 32-40 but the older I get the more I like straight cases. it allows you to put a wad anywhere along the length of the case to restrict the powder. I place my wad .100" of the powder. You can't do that with a 32.40 case because the taper of the case. There is plenty of bolder room for any powder you want to use. The one drawback is they are no longer commercially made you either have to find some old cases or have some cases made. The good news is that 20 cases will last you a lifetime.

40 Rod

If giving some thought to a 32 the best shooting rifle I have owned to date was a Bresien Stevens 52 chambered in 33-47. Barrel a 15 twist, bullet a 234gr. David Mos spitzer and it is simply the 32-40 case blown out to 33. It is less load finicky than the 32-40 and easier to get to shot consistently and only requires 5 tenths of a grain more powder so recoil is close to the same. Powder charge used for 32-40 14.2 grains and powder charge used for the 33-47 14.7 grains both providing a 1474 average velocity and something else to possibly consider and also highly recommend on my own behalf to be one's first extremely competitive breech seating competition rifle. If that is what one is actually looking for but if looking for something just as accurate a bit less wind friendly and just as competitive my 28-35 is and has served me very well and it is quite a bit more enjoyable to shoot recoil wise and its simply the 25-35 necked up to 28 with cases easy to come currently from Hornady. Barrel is a 12 twist Douglas, bullet 154grs. and powder charge 12.3 grains and I built this rifle around the FBW's Model J action and in the traditional schuetzen style and the bullet holes at 200yds. are very easy to see and similar to the 32's. I have been shooting this rifle in competition since I built it now going on close to five years now but have never shot it over the chrony. I have used over 13grs. of powder and I think it safe to say 1600fps. plus is easily achieved without any pressure signs and I have never gotten any leading or even small flakes so just something else to possibly think about. Might add we now have nine rifles chambered for the 28-35 in our group some using it for their dedicated offhand rilfe and for myself it is soley used for benchrest and some of the others have used it for both or just bench same as myself.
