Jacketed: 28 grains of IMR 30301, 4064 or 4895 (Starting loads from manuals)
For 170 grain cast I use 6 to 9 grains of HP-38 for velocities that run from 1100 to 1400 fps (or in the range of 7.5 to 10.5 with Unique)
Hick: Iron sights!
my 336 like 32 WS H335 27 RCBS 170-FN-GC 0.324
Thanks guys
Have you not heard that 10 grains of Unique is the answer for all cast bullets ? It is the most consistent,accurate load I have found with 170 grain bullets for 1400 FPS in my 94 Winchester 32 Special.
Thanks Randy,I will try that.
Any loads for the 30/30 will work in the 32 special.
WW case
WLR primer
Hornady 170 grain flat point
WW 748 at 36.0 grains gets me 1923fps (measured at 35° F) with a SD of 5 out of my Winchester 94 with a 20" barrel and easily breaks two inches at 100 yards (five shots) using a receiver sight.
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
-Jeff Cooper, The Art of the Rifle
Okay guys,got the jacketed load,28.5 grains of RL7, 170 grain Hornaday FP, Fed primers,RP cases 2 inch groups at 100, went out to 200 and got 2 out of 3 bowling pins.
