    8mm Mauser. The neck will be a little short, but it hasn't caused me a problem. I have gone as far as simply swapping the projectile on surplus ammo with some 150 grain .312 projectiles that I had...

    100 Grain SWC, 2.7 Grains of Red Dot. According to Speer No 8 (printed in 1970), that is actually below max for the S&W Long. This might be an example of downloading over the years. 324304

    Hmm, in my succesful endeavor to duplicate Buffalo Bore's ballistics in my 32 S&W with Red Dot, it appears that I have exceeded the 32 H&R, at least according to that edition of Speer. But I am not...

    From his measurements, if I am reading these drawings correctly, it should be 32 S&W. Or course, it's easy to check, sin 32 S&W shouldn't fit into a 32 Colt chamber.324190324191

    You know it's funny, I never thought to try weighing the charge; I just used the volumetric measure, and assumed that it was different. Good to know. Of course you are also correct about balloon-head...

    Black powder is very simple and the exact charge isn't crucial, though the original 32 S&W was loaded with 9 grains (by volume, not weight) of 3F. In the past, I've just eyeballed it with 2F and an...

    Since you are just getting started, definitely slug the bore, and buy a mold to match, However, I have a wide variety of 32's and I've found that using .312"-.313" projectiles works pretty well...

    In have roughly thirty barrels to choose from (though not in person, unfortunately), in varying states of completion; some are chromed and some are not, but all are rifled and unfired. If they can be...

    I have my pick from a large number of partially-finished barrels. Most have no gas port; if there is one,I will simply plug it. My source is looking for one without a finished chamber, but that isn't...
  11. Using an SKS barel to create a 327 Federal High Wall

    Thirty-two caliber barrels for a Winchster 1885 are expensive, whereas I have the ability to get an SKS barrel for free. Is there any way I could make that work?

    It's definitely a fluke,. The entire box could be bad, or even that production lot, but the basic design of the round is sound. I have the CB shorts, which feature the exact same loading (I didn't...
