I do it exactly just how maxfan does and it works.

Save your worn-out brass and take it to a scrap yard. I had a 5-gallon pale of worn-out brass and Berdan primed cases that I took to a scrap yard and was amazed that I got almost $60 bucks for it. I used the money to buy reloading components.

I use Acme powder coated bullets and I'm very satisfied with them.

.22's are as finnicky as the guns that shoot them. I had bought three bricks of Russian junior .22 ammo at a store for $7 dollars a brick. Tried it in several different rifles and handguns and it didn't shoot accurately in any of them. One day I went to the range and took my 10/22 and figured...

djw54 I'll be looking for the .327 Henry lever action. I'll be going up to the local shop tomorrow. MC

I've had good accuracy with WW 231 in .45 auto and .38 Special too. I'm going to work first with the 115 gr. bullets to develop an accurate load and then with 100 gr. bullets. MC

Hi JStacy Got to the range the other day and tried out the 115 gr bullets. Velocity was average 1225 FPS and accuracy for nine shots at 25 yds measured 4.10". I was shooting offhand no rest so accuracy probably would have been better if using a rest. I was using WW 231 powder and WW small...

JStacy Thanks for the report on the .327 loads. I bought 4 boxes of AE .327 MAG 100 GR. I'M going to load some 100 gr. and 115 gr. bullets that have the powder coat on them and will report how they were accuracy wise. It will be a week or so before I can get to the range just have a lot of...

Put me down for one too. MC

Howdy Hawkdriver Congrats on your new purchase. Yes you can shoot the .32 H&R MAG IN THE .327. I don't know why I waited so long to get one myself. The recoil from the .327 mag is very mild. You can't go wrong with Starline brass. I bought 4 boxes of Federal .327 and two hundred pieces of...

Hi JStacy Haven't received my expander plug back yet. hope it will be next week. If you take your case that is stuck on your expander plug and place the rim in a vice then use a brass drift to hit the lock nut on the expander it will come off. May help to soak it in some Kroi oil first or...

Received the powder coated bullets from Penn. The powder coating is missing in places on the bullet driving bands. I wouldn't think that this would happen from shipping. From what I have read the powder coating is very strong and should not chip from shipping one would think. Is this normal...

Evening all Looks like the .327 mag uses small rifle primers so I'm set to go. Loaded 50 rounds of 100 Gr. Hornady XTP'S with 7.5 Gr. of Accurate No. 5 which gave 1314 FPS average for 12 shots on my chronograph. Accuracy was very good at 25 yds 2.135 for 12 shots. I like the .327 FM. Placed...

I bought the 115 gr. Poly coated bullets from Penn Bullets. Never used them so I'm looking forward to trying them. My RCBS dies and brass will be here today. Still need to get a thousand small pistol primers

JRS I just purchased the 50th Edition Lyman Reloading manual and they list the 115 gr. lead bullet using 9 different powders. The manual also covers the other .32 caliber cartridges.
