    .32 ACP “Group 1” Loads▪ Minimum Ctg. OAL 0.945”
    Which don’t exceed factory energy, suitable as a "steady diet" for use in Tomcat and Keltec pistols:

    Ammunition ________________Beretta Tomcat 2.4”

    Acc. 31-077B LD#0 2.2 Bullseye____757, 16 Sd
    Acc. 31-077B LD#1 2.5 Bullseye____835, 16 Sd

    Acc.31-090B LD#00 2.5 AutoComp__729, 11 Sd - OK to substitute Accurate 31-087T or 31-087B,

    P32

    Thanks. Don't want to a load too hot for P32 either. I just opened a jug of Greendot and wonder if it too can be used? afish4570

    BigSlug tested and confirmed that 2.2 grains of Green Dot with the 78-grain Ranch Dog bullet gives 920 fps in his Colt M1903. I would consider that maximum and reduce 10% for safety in your P32 and go with 2 grains.

    Green Dot can be used but only if you weigh powder charges, It doesn't meter all that well, and when you dealing with powder charges that light, .1 grains up or down means something.
