32 Dell load data
Yesterday at 11:35am
Print Post  
I recently bought a Meacham 1885 from ssdave and want to get it to the range in the next few weeks.  It's chambered in .32 Dell / .32-357.  I don't have access to a lot of the different powders that you guys do in America, but I can get Ramshot Enforcer locally, or I can mail order some AA #9.   Is one likely to be better than the other?

I'm looking for starting loads for both of these powders with a Hoch 322200 bullet.

Thanks,
Chris.

I don't have a 32 on the Max case but, I have both a 30 and 33 on the full length case. #9 is the only one that works in both of them.

Frank this one uses the 357 mag. case with a straight taper to 32.

The Rimshot should be a good powder.  Supposedly the same as Accurate 4100.  I assume you will be breech seating it.  I have had good luck with about 12.8 gr of 4100 with that bullet.  I believe it is around 1450 fps out of a 14.5 twist BRC barrel.

Thanks.  That'll give me a basis to start from.  I'll back it off a grain and see what the chronograph says to start.  I haven't checked the twist yet, but I believe it's tight.  In addition to that mold, it also came with a much longer version of that bullet.  More than 1.4" long!  It's an 8 groove cut rifled barrel.

Your may want to try  Lil Gun or 4227 also.
I have a killer fixed load of 12.80 4227 with a 185 Hudson for offhand. 
12.0 Lil Gun breech
300MP 13.0 mag primer...still playing with this one.
This case is about one grain off from original 32 Ideal. I  drew up my chamber print using 32-357 with a 1/2" straight case for fixed if I wanted it. Has been working very well in my 32 Ideal..modern  ...Zischang Borchardt. Cases are bomb proof and will never wear out with these loads. Hope that helps....
  
May the Bullet Gods be with you.......

Thanks.  I hadn't considered 4227 because I read an old post about it not working well in this case.  I'll give it a try since I already have it for my 32-40's and 38-55's

I think I can also find lil'gun here too.

Chris.
