In an July 2020 article in Guns Magazine, the author referenced a load of 9.0 grains of 2400 behind a 100 grain Keith style cast bullet but recommended against it in a Charter Arms revolver. What would your recommendation be concerning using this load in a Ruger SP101?

Thanks.

load, it is chambered for the .327 Federal and .357 Magnum. However, I must have missed something, I don't remember any 2400 load for the .32 H&R...

For what it is worth. I have a H&R 732 with a 4 inch barrel in 32 Long. I did not have luck with fast burning pistol powders like Bullseye and 231 when using them with a 94 grain cast SWC. I tried 7 grains of 2400 and it was like night and day in the accuracy department. For some reason my fliers disappeared. It is not a load out of a book. I sort of extrapolated and guessed and hoped for the best.

There have been 2400 loads published as far back as Skeeter Skelton's articles. I still have the magazine in which they appeared. Ross Seyfried also did two articles on the cartridge with 2400 loads and I have them as well. The article to which I referred in my original posting was quite recent. I've used 2400 for years in both my Ruger Bisley small frame and a (now sold) Browning Lo-Wall I had rebored from .22 Hornet.

Thanks for the link. Use of 2400 might be the way to go in future given powder availability.

The Sp101 is stronger still so you won’t have any problems.
