My S&W M&P x 5" gets limited to 115 grain castings at 950 FPS--6.0 grains of SR-4756 and a small pistol primer. The throats on my example are a little wide--.314".

The few examples like these I saw at the Reno Gun Show in August ran $375-$500/asking in 80%-90% shape. A LOT of these have swollen spots in bores from lodged bullets/fired again. It's a quirk of the caliber and older factory loads.

I cast and load for 4 Colts in 32-20. Found that the 115 gr. has always worked best for the cartridge in my revolvers. I size .313 for all of them, they range in age from 1907 to 1922.
