Hot .32ACP Round

[The_Shootist]

Aside from Corbon (which may be a bit expensive to plink with) whats a nice warm .32ACP round? Can be JHP or FMJ. Fiocchi? Aquila? S&B?

I have an all steel Z-70 I plan on using them in - would be a bit hesitant to run them through my Kel-Tec P-32 but that former Com-bloc pistol of mine would probably digest them with no problems.

I use S&B in my p-32 and Corbon for carry Felt recoil to me is close. Today I tried some Hornady 60gr JHP/XTP on water jugs . Lined up 3 1st round thru all 3 little hole I followed up with 2 more all shot clean thru Didn't even split jug just a clean hole. I was about 10' I used Corbon 1st jug jumps and splits round stops in 2 jug sometimes 3rd. .
I won't buy any more won't even open it water. Suppose to be 1000fps unk barrel length Corbon 1050 from 2.5" barrel. Hardly any recoil verses corbon snappy recoil.

Geco FMJ. S&B is also a hot FMJ.

Kel-Tec tests with S&B. I have run over 5000 rounds through 3 P32s with no ammo pressure related problems.

Here is a link that compares some ammo. No pressure ratings, but may be useful some folks. http://stevespages.com/page8f32acp.html

I used HyraShok in my CZ-70, when it was my BUG, no feeding problems, and a decent enough load in that caliber.

The Fiocchi 60gr Hollow Point is loaded to 1,200fps from a 4"bbl, and the two different lot #'s I chrono'd got it. Ran 1,050fps from my Tom Cat, 1,000fps from a KelTec.

The Fiocchi 73gr FMJ load ran 855fps from my 2.2" Beretta TomCat.

Beware; I cracked the slide and frame in approx 1,200rds using the above loads.

They're that HOT!

Kel-Tec tests with S&B.

I had two misfires in 50 rounds of S&B, presumably due to the hard primers everyone mentions on KTOG and elsewhere. If they tested with S&B, you'd think they'd ignite the primer 100% of the time.

CCI Blazer is nearly as hot as S&B. Fiocchi is slightly hotter.

In my chrono tests, the Remington 71 gr FMJ was close to the S&B, right around 935 fps.

In the recent months German gun magazine, Visier tested several .32 ACP ammo from Walther PP and PPK pistols. The Fiocchi Semi-Jacketed Hollowpoint was the hottest. And in clay-test that round make the largest "wound chanel" and deepest penetration of the hollowpoints.
