I have a Stevens Favorite in .32. It was a rimfire. I would reload with .32 long colt brass drilled out to take a .22 ramset cartridge (green #3). I shoot a heeled bullet at .87 gr. It chronographed at 1050 avg. It was a hoot to shoot.
However the brass would get damaged when driving out the spent .22 cartridge. And the brass is expensive. So for ease of reloading, I had a talented gunsmith relocate the firing pin to center fire on an extra breech block. He did a great job. Now I need to work up a load.
I am not trying to get more power, velocity etc. I am just trying to duplicate the original load.
The ramsets cartridges have about 2.2 gr of a fine grain powder.
How low should I start. 1 gr, 1.5 gr I have and like trailboss also unique.
Your thoughts are appreciated
Thanks in advance
