I have a mint October 1895 manufacture Swiss M1882 and a custom refinished BSA Australian .310 Cadet that both chamber and fire my handloads made from uncut 32-20 brass and deep seated .314" lead wadcutters. As a bonus, the M1882 shoots commercial 32 S&W Long while the Cadet shoots commercial 32-20 as well as some of my hopped-up handloads pushing 2000 fps (but those utilize hard lead boolits with gas check and OAL will not fit Swiss 1882). Lots of versatility with this combo.
Standard "7.5x33R" handload (3.1-3.5 grains of Trail Boss) utilizing uncut 32-20 Starline brass with deep seated 100 gr H&N soft lead wadcutter. Also fires beautifully out of my Cadet.
Hopped-up handload (15-17 grains of IMR 4227) utilizing uncut 32-20 Starline brass for BSA Cadet only (longer OAL, jethunter 110 gr hard cast w/ gas check) beside an alternate M1882 handload utilizing 7.62×38mmR brass and deep seated Nagant FMJ
