Any medium power 32-20 load suggestions?
I currently have a bunch of .314" 110 grain cast lead bullets with gas check courtesy of jethunter.
My rifle is a BSA Martini Australian Cadet with a factory 25" barrel with a very good bore.
I have an assortment of 32-20 brass, with a preference for Starline brand.
My powder on hand is IMR 4227. I also like Trail Boss for light loads.
I only have small pistol primers on hand, but I will buy some small rifle primers.
I made a load to test, and curious how it will perform:
Starline 32-20 brass
Winchester small pistol primers (not enough ignition?)
12 grains of IMR 4227
deep seated 110 grain cast lead bullets with gas check
very light crimp
... bullets seated just enough to touch or ever so lightly compress the powder.
My research tells me this should produce low 1400's to 1500 fps.
(not sure about pressure)
