thank you for the positive comments... there is really not very many "new" or undiscovered things anymore... prime example, is all these "new" AR calibers, that are just renamed Contender cartridges...
it's been a while since I loaded... let me look at my recipes... 0.5 grains sounds like a very tiny amount, but Trailbosse's lil donuts are bulky any the 32 S&W case pretty tiny, but it worked well...
I once had a very large collection of these revolvers, & kept about half of the nicest when I held a big sell off over the last year... all of mine were shooters...
if your revolvers time out OK,...

Started out by getting a custom 401 Powermag cylinder made for my Buckeye Blackhawk... hmmm... where do you get 401 cases...
bought some new Starline 41 Magnum cases, machined about .010" off the...
BTW... I do realize the value of the Hornet case to these smaller cartridges... about the same time as the 22 Centerfire development, I did a 257 Special, by straightening & trimming the cases to...
I must be a cartridge hoarder then... I find them all interesting... of course I reload close to 90 different cartridges ( I stopped counting around 75, several years ago )... IMO, part of the...

I realize this is now an older thread... I've always wanted a reloadable 22 & looked at the Velo-dog many years ago... of course I was a day late & dollar short when it came to getting that new...
I've got a really accurate 32 S&W round ball load, & have since moved on to light cast bullets in the guns that can handle them ( in 32 ) so I'll be loading a light & accurate target round with the...
