Have you tried ordering a sample pack from Chey-Cast?

I'm shooting their HT Coated 125 gr CN 9mm at about 1100 fps with no leading. Cheers.

Loaded 10 rounds each of 4.0, 4.2, 4.4, 4.6, and 4.8 grs Longshot. I have no chrony, but settled on 4.2 gr when I got a nice sharp crack Flattened primers and leading above 4.6 grs.

I've looked at the powder burn rate charts put out by the various manufacturers. I seems like there is a big difference in what the charts say and how the powders are actually ranked for a particular handgun cartridge based on published reloading data and manuals. Any thoughts on this? Thanks.

If Longshot is similar to Unique, I'll start with 3.8 grains and work my way up. Hodgdon lists 4.0 gr Longshot and a 100 gr JSP at 903 fps for a .32 H&R mag. so I should be in the ballpark. Using Longshot because I can't get Unique. Thanks.

Thanks Terry, but I haven't been able to find any data in manuals or online.

Can anyone give me a recommendation for a .32 S&W long load using a 100 gr swc and Longshot powder. Looking for ~1000 fps out of a 5.5" single six. Thanks.

Nothing new here. See page 44 http://www.gunsmagazine.com/1959issues/G0359.pdf

A .32 caliber 100 gr bullet at ~1050 fps is 2 1/2 times more powerful than a 40gr .22 LR at the same velocity. A 250 gr .44-.45 caliber bullet at the same velocity is 2 1/2 more powerful than the .32. The .32 is the perfect mid-point in a handgun.

Bought 500 rounds of CBC .32 S&W long cartridges in early 90's. Most have been reloaded 10-15 times. Favorite load is 4.4 grains Herco over 90 gr Hornaday swaged SWC. Around 1100 fps from 5.5" Ruger Single Six. Have shot 4" groups at 100 yds from a rest. Commercial cast bevel based SWC at...

Sucks to have to buy new holsters.

Why not get some 9mm shotshells from CCI? http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=709816

"yep, the dog doesn't look thrilled about his lot in life..." Meals on wheels, .......or on legs. It was a rough lot in the Klondike.

Could you please post some close up pics of the serrated/reshaped front sight blade? Thanks in advance.
