I am resizing my cases with a Lee bullet sizing die. (Suggested by another member on this mile long thread!)Cheap and works great. Been a while since I looked and am at work, so not sure what size I...

*The cordless drill is simply used to hold the case. The air powered hacksaw is doing the cutting. :smile:

So I'm sitting idly at work, and somehow came up with this....No idea why it had never occurred to me before....
Trimming .22lr cases (or nail gun blanks)... Pull bullet, dump powder, chuck case in...

Well, I think this long thread might be running it's course, but thought I'd add to it with my latest testing:
Stevens Favorite 1894 32 Long Rimfire......
Basics are all identical: 299153 bullet,...

Found an interesting old article pertaining to old cartridges at the turn of the century. It's actually a sporting goods catalog from Abercrombie & Fitch. Cartridge information, including...

My latest Stevens Favorite .32 chrono readings:
299153 bullet Lee Liquid Alox (tumbled, before loading)
.790 case (32 Long Colt trimmed & modified) As fired from previous loads, only sizing the...

Was actually very "re educational" to re-read this entire post! Not that I'll remember it all, of course!

Went back through all the threads from the beginning, (actually didn't make it all the way!) and saw again your Titegroup loads, W30. Shoulda done that first, to refresh myself since I stepped away...

Well, getting old I guess......just checked my log book, and saw on page 18 of this topic that I had tried the Titegroup already (using the 299153 bullet though instead of the 311090a bullet) using...

yea, my general goal was to get about 1000 fps, but let the groups decide. Since I felt I was
treading into uncharted waters, started low.

Well, got to shoot the Stevens Favorite 1894 with my smokeless loads:
32 long colt cases 1x fired after previous mods performed. No resizing or expanding performed, "As Fired". Chamfered to ease...

Not yet, Chev.
I am planning on going to my sisters property next weekend to attend to pre-hunting season chores and
planning on benching it there. Funny, I just made a to-do note this morning to...

Hey guys,
Pop said I can have his old 60mm Spacemaster spotting scope (circa late 60's) but it needs a
new eyepiece. Currently has the zoom style, but he said it is falling apart. (Haven't seen it,...

Just picked this one up from a co worker, was his fathers. It is a 3rd model .32 Iver Johnson hammerless. Serial number is B5460. Posted a thread on it hoping for someone knowledgeable to help with...

Loaded up several of the 311090A boolits (Thanks Chev!) in my modified Long Colt cases that were
once fired. Did not resize them, or expand (since I currently do not have the means to crimp), only...

Gonna try to add pics....110330110331

Picked up a well used chromed Iver Johnson Safety Hammerless .32 revolver from a coworker today for $50.00. After researching a bit, it appears to be a 3rd model. Has a coil spring and double top...

I load a 95 or so grain swc with 3.0 Bullseye. Tried up to 3.3, but saw no advantages. 3.0 shoots pretty soft. Also installed a new recoil spring in my '82, now the cases land next to me instead of...

I had pretty much shelved my 32 rimfire project for a while in pursuit of other projects, but am thinking it's about time to get back to it. I will probably go back to the beginning of this long...

w30,
Great job on that table. I will review anything that I contributed to see if I can fill in any blanks as well, when I get a chance. Sleep apnea test tonight......fun, fun

w30,
Both loads used Ramset gun blanks, with powder removed and trimmed down to about .275 or so. So the
brand shouldn't matter too much, as it is only for ignition.
Unfortunately I have no...

Been a bit since I've contributed, but finally got an opportunity to chrono a few loads out of the Stevens Favorite.
Was a beautiful, much needed get away to my sister's property out near Farmville...

I have had good luck with the Birchwood Casey lead removing cloth. Cut into patch sizes. Super tight
fit, sometimes gotta use the next size down jag.

Very cool. Picked up a single old .50 caliber rimfire blank cartridge recently. No idea why I bought
it (paid 2 bucks and shipping was included with a few other items from the same seller) just...
