32 French long? anyone got any load data?

Might find it under 7.62 French Long

These people make new 7.62 French Long ammo from scratch. I would hope they might help you with load data. Or at least brass, maybe.

Thanks ants, now I've found both the brass, and the loaded ammo, at $60.00 for fifty rounds [!]...but still no load data...

Found this bit of info in the archives, don't know if it will help for the 7.65x22 (or is it 20?) round:

If you can find a copy of "Cartridges of the World" you may find some load data there. Check you public library.

I have a few rounds I can copy for OAL, and I can work up a load by starting somewhere between .32acp and .32 H&R Mag, carefully checking for signs of pressure, but I can't help but feel someone somewhere has already done this,and I'm duplicating effort better expended in loading more ammo...

A guy over at 1911Forum was asking the same thing. See if you can find his thread. Maybe he has load data.

Are you talking about the 7.65 MAS? It's a rimless cartridge for1935A and 35S pistols.

If so:
Lyman #311252 sized .309" about 77 grains weight depending on alloy.
3.6gr Unique
.780" case length
1.19" OAL
SP Primer
Start with 3.1 gr

Kind of personal isnt it.

Cartridges of the World lists the following:

77 grain bullet at 3.6 grains of Unique @ 1100 giving ME of 206 (Lyman's #311252)

86 grain bullet at 2.3 gr's of BE giving 1000 with 190 ME using a 7.63 Mauser bullet

100 grain bullet @ 3.1 of Unique pushing 1030 for 235 ME......Speer's .30 plinker.
