New member to the forum but have searched it many times before for info
I have about 500 Speer 98 gr Hollow base wadcutters that are looking for something to do. .312 diameter.
It occurs to me that they would work in my old 32-20 and that Trail boss may be the right powder, and I have lots.
Haven't been able to find a load anywhere however for this combination.
Found loads for 98 gr lead in the 32-20 using 231 and bullseye, both options, but Trail boss fills the case so nicely as to not have position issues. I like it.
I can use the Trail boss "fill the case to the bottom of the bullet X .70 to start", but something from someone who may have been there is helpful.
Don't plan on inserting the bullet in past the neck so as to avoid expanding the skirt.
Anybody have some insight?
Thanx and Aloha
