Heavy .32 ACP Loads

[MI2600]

I have a "herd" of .32 ACPs, ranging from Browning, Mauser, Colt, Ortgies, yada, yada.

I've always loaded standard 60-71gr bullets. I have a supply of 93gr cast bullets from Missouri Bullet and I wondered if anyone loads that heavy. Search of various sites yielded meager information on heavy loads.

Does/has anyone load with heavy bullets?

(PS: I'm currently limited to Bullseye and Unique powders.)

You need to remember that most 32 ACP firearms are blowback style and heavy loads can have a detrimental effect on the whole gun, because they rely on the action spring to control the blowback. If you can find heavier action springs for your pistol, it may help handle heavier bullets with the higher blowback energy, and minimize damaging your pistol(s).
I cast my own 77gr slugs, and coat them with Alox and allow to dry a couple days, and shoot them as cast with Unique powder at around 2.7gr, IIRC.
I also load them in my 32 S&W long H&R revolver.

Here's a link to Wolff spring kits.
