any of you folks tried this combo? I ran across a bit of data, but nothing in CB's or as heavy as I am using. Bullet of choice for me is the GB Harris 155, or the RCBS 165 sil.

JSH;
I have used RL-7 with the .25/20 (but with a standard weight bullet of 70 grs) but more to the point, I have used a .30 Carbine with 170 gr bullet and RL-7 for a very successful "Hunter Pistol" silhouette load. I have not checked the capacity of the .30 Carbine against the .30/20 but it should be close.

STANDARD DISCLAIMER.

Jeff:

Quickload says 32-20 Win:

RCBS 165 Sil
Seating depth .311
Barrel length 24
Fill 95%
Charge 12.99 gr
Powder 4198 IMR
Propellant burned 83.18%
Pmax 22762
Velocity 1491

4198 IMR is too slow.

Jeff,
We have been using 4227 with the 165 RCBS for bigbore US, and getting good accuracy and low recoil. I don't recall the exact load, so I won't guess.

30 carbine case and 32-20 are one gram of water apart. 30 carbine is bigger.
