I think the Federal factory 100 gr load is just a bit too much of a good thing.

I'm considering looking for something with a gas checked 110 gr cast bullet at around 1200 to 1300 fps.

5 grains of unique, 231/HP-38 as near max in the .327 with the classic .32 w.c.f. bullet #311008 plain base 115 gr.....1200fps 3"

I agree that 5 gr. of Unique will give you what you want. That is my load in the .32-20.

I have gotten pretty good accuracy with IMR Target. Go to Hodgdon Load Data center for data.

I loaded some test loads with 10 gr of 2400. I will try that Unique load as well because I burn a lot more Unique than any other powder.

Unique may be just what I need.

than the 85 gr Federal Factory load.

The 100 gr load is loaded hotter, but the 85 grain soft point shoots much better.

Unique got me where I wanted to be but it isn't where I want it for accuracy.

Trying H110 with the 100 gr XTP and 110 gr WFN next.

Turns out that 12 gr of H110 really makes that 100gr XTP shoot small groups and by happy coincidence it works well with 110gr WFN from Montana Bullet Works.

Cases come out real easy and the primers (CCI small pistol) still have rounded edges, unlike the factory Federal loads.

Looks like you found a load that works.
