Okay, first one is kind of out there. I bought an H&R Young America .32 and when I got it found out that I can chamber .32 S&W Long wadcutters because the chambers are bored straight thru. Previous with a 98gr Speed wadcutter I tried 1.8gr of Bullseye and that had quite a bit of recoil, so today I used 2.2gr of Unique and instead of seating the bullet flush with the case mouth I let it hang out a bit (OAL was .990") and the one reading I was able to get from the chrony was 414 fps.
I'd like a bit more velocity, but I'm not sure how far to push things. The gun is a solid frame and .32 S&W has a max PSI of 17k PSI. The issue I have is the revolver retains the cylinder pin with a spring loaded lever in a groove on the cylinder pin and if the recoil is too much in the 7oz gun the pin can jump over the latch and cause problems.
I didn't have any such issues with that today, but I'm wondering how far should I go with this?
