I'll dig up the data and post it.

I haven't posted since the discussion on heavy .32ACP loads
(thanks Outpost75) but here's piece of one I posted in the S&W
forum a couple days ago about the 6 grains of Herco I use with
a 158gr...
I just used a piece of heat shrink tubing
and cut it down to the length I needed.
That way I didn't modify the 1858 and
can still shoot BP round ball.

I suppose it depends on what you're looking to buy. Around here,
the 9mm/223 crowd is really thin. But the 45acp/308 folks have
stuff to pick from. Most of the people in this area had what they...
Pettypace, Looks like you're running about 4 grains of Herco?

I finally got a Colt 1903 and cast up 20 pounds of Acc. 31-094H projectiles.
Their powder coated weight is 96 grains using my alloy. I decided I'm not
going to try for 1000 fps with...
What drew me to the G2C was the ability to use SIG P226/P229 magazines.I found it fit my hand exactly like my S&W Shield. It also can use the Shields leather holster. The trigger on mine isn't...

I also shoot the Lee 175gr truncated cone.
And both of Rim Rock's 180gr bullets.
The Lee bullets are powder coated with
Eastwood Ford Valve Cover light blue.
I use 5.4 gr of Power Pistol and the...

I got the mold today. Fantastic. It took 7 days from time of order
to my hot little hands! I looked and didn't have any handles
that were not in use. Seems the last one ended up on a mold
for the...

I am a student of Outpost 75 and have loaded the 73 grain
32acp loads using his information. The Walther PP and Beretta 81
run very well with that weight.
The idea of having the performance of...

I ordered a 5 cavity .312 mold 4 days ago. Ought to see it
by the first of May ASSuming things don't get really stupid.
I started to get the trough sprue plate but didn't. None of
my other molds...
I'm still looking at the 1903's for my 32ACP collection.
Finding working magazines for the CZ-27, Beretta 81
and Walther PP have been easy. They are not cheap.
Original OEM Colt magazines are...
well krap. Thought I was going to add to the discussion and it didn't
happen. I will say the 2400 load burns quite clean at 0 fahrenheit
for powder my late father got in 1968. But the wind sucked...
I found the reference to the 4 grain Herco load here:

I can't find the 4gr Herco loading information I referenced.
The 1987 Aliant data sheet only lists 3.2 gr @880fps With 13500 CUP using the 71 gr bullet.
I'll keep digging, maybe it will show up.

Thanks for the primer info.
I will look up the
Link for the Herco load
And post it.
Thank you Sir! I appreciate you reply. I've read
most of the threads and down loaded some of them.
I think I might play with the 4gr. herco load with
the 75 gr bullets.
It's still a learning...
the PP and model 81 run fine with the 5.9gr 2400 load. And they both require cocking the
hammer due to stiff recoil springs. But that's old news considering ya'll have been working
on these loads...
I have been reading all the 32 threads and picked up a :
Walther PP
CZ-27
Beretta 81
and a S&W 32 hand ejector circa 1917.
I've been watching Colt 1903's but haven's gotten one yet.
