32 H&R Magnum

[TexasTech]

Was going through some of my dad's reloading stuff and came upon a bag of cast lead round nose. It wasn't marked, but average weight is 89gr. Base measures .299-.300 and middle is .312 inches.
I have several hundred Starline 32 H&R new brass.

Sold my Ruger Single-Six 32 H&R to my nephew last year, but thought might reload this batch of LRN for him.

Can't find any data for this type/weight bullet. Any suggestions for a plinking load?

Ken Waters in his Pet Loads tome lists a 90 grain SWC with Unique starting at 4 grains and max of 4.5 at 1,148 FPS.

I’d have no problems with that as a starting point for those 89 grainer RN if it’s being shot out of the Ruger.

Thanks, sounds like a good place to start.

red dot also works for me in light loads....

Well, ok then.

3.0gr. of any fast pistol powder. Bullseye, Red Dot, W231, TiteGroup. Take your pick.

Well, ok then.

I thought the same thing when I read that!

The 4.0 gr Unique load should be a good one. Another I have seen is 3.5 gr AA#2 and a 90 gr SWC, so that could be a good one, too.

Stay safe.

From Lee second, data for 90 grain lead.
