>We are refering to the 32S&W long-correct??The velocity range will be
approx. 660-710fps.Some popular powders would be B'eye(1.5grs)WST
(1.6grs),N320(1.6grs)and N310(1.3grs) to mention a few.Taper crimp is
OK but a profile crimp is slightly better.HBWC (Speer)is OK if the
twist is around 1:10". If higher than 1:16-heads will probably start
to wobble at 25yds and 50yd accuracy will not be too good.Solid heads
(DEWC) are OK in some bbls.Slight leading can be reduced with a liquid
alox coating on heads.Varying the powder charge and testing at 50yds
is a must.Hope this helps.Erod
