No I had Eric Olen convert a single cavity 311316, and I picked up a 31133 HP a while back off eBay.

I keep thinking about picking a second RCBS 98 gr SWC and having him hollow point it. That bullet goes 1100-1200 depending on barrel length ahead of 4.5 gr Unique. All of my .32 s really like that bullet and load.

Anyone load 311316 cast in 32 H&R magnum? (reply)

I'm shooting a 118 grain gas check bullet of unknown mould origin (it was purchased from a now defunct caster called "Bullets by Bridges") in my .32 H&R. I use 2400 and have been quite happy with the results. Both my small frame Ruger Bisley and my SP101 shoot little tiny groups using the bullet. My Browning Lo-Wall likes it as well.

I was thinking 4.0-4.5 of Unique. Did I sell you a HP mold a few years ago for the .32?

My main .32 mag load is a RCBS98gr SWC, but I cast both a solid and HP 311316.

4.0gr Unique goes around 1000-1100 FPS depending on barrel length. 10.5gr H110 will go 1200+. I have tried 2400 with some bullets but can't remember if I ever used it with the 316, I never got as good of accuracy as I do with the other powders.

The main two powders I use in the .32 Mag are Unique and WC820. My lot of 820 is a little Slower than AA#9 and a bit faster than H110/296.

I'm using the same RCBS as Glen. It works great in my Marlin 32, Ruger vaquero's and TC. However, I'm using they Lyman 117 gr in my Martini 32H&R.

...I like to use Acc. Arms #7 with cast bullets. Normally I shoot the plain-based RCBS 98 SWC, but the GC'ed 311316 (in either HP or solid form) also does well with this powder in the .32 H&R. For .32-20, my gun has shown a distinct preference for HS-6 with cast bullets. For the 313316, I like 6.0 grains of HS-6 for about 1000 fps.

Anyone load 311316 cast in 32 H&R magnum?

I cast 115 grain gas check 32's with a Lyman 311316 mold. I found a good load for my 32 H&R mag with AA5 but would like to change to unique,296,2400 etc. Trying to simplify all the powders I use. anyone use this bullet in your 32 H&R mag?

I may load the same bullet in 32-20 if I ever find a 32-20 to buy. I would like to have a revolver and levergun eventually.
