Has anyone tried Unique in the 32 win spec with PP bullets?
Has anyone tried Unique in the 32 win spec with PP bullets?
I use a Unique load for plinking with the 303 Brit.
Some may argue that it is a waste to push a paper patched bullet below it's potential, but in my rifle they are accurate and mild shooting.
Also, from much practice, I can paper patch about as fast as I can lube and size.
Why not try some with around 6-8 grains?
Thanks for your reply. I am in need of a light weight 8mm bullet 125-140gr to use in a 32 spec. chambered Martini Cadet. Was thinking about just Patching some Lee 113 or 120 gr 311 bullets. I was just not sure how Unique would preform with PP bullets. Most seem to use a powder that give full case capacity with PP bullets?
Let us know how the Cadet does with the pp slugs! Love to have a .32 Special in a strong action with the slow twist barrel.
In most cases I have found light loads of pistol powder to be more forgiving accuracy wise, than the slower rifle powders with pp bullets.
Less fine tuning, but you pay for it with the rainbow trajectory when you start shooting over 50 yards.
