32-20 loads for Marlin 1894 CL

[ELFEGO BACA]

:Fire:
Now that I have a group buy mold for my 32-20 Marlin CL, what are some good powders to send these 120 grain pills downrange?

I have been using 5.0 grains of Unique for some mild loads for my non gas checked Lyman 115 grain flat noze bullets.

Yeap, that'll work.

I run a Martini rimfire conversion to .32-20 with a suppressor and load a 115gr FN over 3.4gr of Unique for 980fps. Real quite through the silener. Legal here in NZ you see.

For flat out with a GC bullet I run 15gr of AR2205/H4227 for the thick end of 2000fps with a Lyman 331316 in heat treated WW.

Goes well for me when my wife allows me to use it......

SR4759, try it, you'll like what it does.

One of my favorite loads is three point two of Bullseye and a hundred fifteen grain lead slug .

5gr/Unique isn't mild.....it's approaching max with that powder, and about 1400fps....my B53 LOVES the 3.2gr/Bullseye....I've been playing with RL7 lately, getting ballpark 1400fps with 12grs, and a guesstimate 1500fps with 13grs, brass/primer in the 12gr load looks about the same as the Bullseye 3.2gr load, while the 13gr load looks just a bit more stressfull by flattening the primers out a bit more....but nothing like 1400fps do using 5gr/Unique or 9gr/2400....the above charges all with 115grRNFP....

edited in:.......there I was, reading and rereading this thread for the load info I KNEW I'd posted earlier, and not finding it, reposted some of it here...wondered if my post had been deleted for some reason, but no PM about it......then I checked the senor's other post about .32-20 throat size.............duh.....sorry for the mostly rehash....
