I found some starline brass for the 32-20 at the gunshow today $15/50--not good price, but not bad either.  Also picked up a Lee Factory crimp die for $6.

I'm going to make some pretty stout loads--I know the DW is capable of handling them.  Maybe the 100 gr bullets I use in the 32 Mag.

Anybody have any personal favorite loads for 32-20?

how about 100 gr 32070 HP-XTP HORNADY bullet with the following powder,

AA no.9 11.5 gr = 1700

H110  13.1 gr =1700

IMR 4227 14.4 gr  = 1700

For the time being, I'm going to stick with cast bullets--however, if I find some jacketed cheap, I'll pick them up.

I just sized the Starline brass, so maybe tomorrow I'll put a load together for testing.

Although it's pretty stout: 12.5 grains of H110 will push a 124 grain Keith over 1500 fps out of a Ruger 7 1/2" barrel.  That's in the 357 mag range. 

For "plinking"; 7.5 gr of 2400 under a 115 gr pill.

Due to the strength of the DW, you could start w/ 30 carbine loads. 

FWIW,

Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....
