A big thank you to the responders! You have definitely helped give me some excellent information for my question and a big help to keep me out of trouble with this .32 H&R. I'm a long time reloader...
Since this thread is on .32 H&H Mag loads I would like to ask for some help / guidance on loading some 118 grain bullets that I was given. They measure 0.3131 diameter and look VERY much like the...
When I recently bought my Smith M631 I replaced the factory grips ( a finger groove combat type ) with a set of S&W factory target grips for J-frames of which I had a spare pair of square-butt and...
In one of my .44's ( a 6" Smith M629 no dash ) using 6.5 grains of W231 with 240-250 grain Keith type semi-wadcutters consistently makes just one big hole at 25 yards. An easy on the gun and old...
I finally managed to shoot my Smith M631. I used Lost River Ammunition Company's .32 H&R wadcutter loads.
.32 H&R Magnum
100 Grain Poly Coat
Full Wadcutter
Velocity 850 FPS

Yep, it's the 4" adjustable sight model and is exactly what I was looking / hoping for. Still amazed about my luck. Already bought the dies, new brass and cast boolits to last quite a while. I...
I just purchased my first .32 after reading all of the threads here about them. Just "had" to have one.... I lucked out and came across a S&W M631 new and unfired in the original box with tools,...
Not a Ruger Blackhawk but I did get a set of stocks / grips from Texas Grips made for a Security Six and was very happy with them. Fit and finish were excellent. I called and spoke with the owner (...

A friend of mine was trout fishing in the upper Pecos River during the high spring river run off and fell in (and nearly drowned) while carrying a S&W Mod 19 which came out of his holster. It was...
Rodfac has it pretty much nailed with his choice of the S&W M60 3 inch with the adjustable sights. I prefer the Pachmayr Professional grips which are very concealable yet give (at least for me) a...
All of my Kit Guns ( a 4" 1955 year pre-model 34, a 4" Mod 34-1 from 1977, a 6" Mod 35-1 from 1973 and a 4" Mod 63 from 1978 ) shoot extremely well. Most any ammo does about an 1 1/2" at 25 yards in...

Ballistol (sp? ) works well on the leather. I had seen that somewhere and tried it. It seems to be very helpful FWIW.
