I had posted previously about trying to develop a boolit and load for my 32 pistols. I settled on a larger than normal, 100gr. boolit cast from range scrap + solder 2% using the Lee 311-100 mold and recluse lube.

Today I tried them over 1.0 and 1.1 gr of Bullseye in my Bayard pistol that is early 1900 vintage at 8yds. 1.1gr was pretty good, 5 of 8shots where within a little less than 2in. group with the others as flyers. I think I can do better than that with a little more practice using this load. Very light recoil and all rounds cycle at 1.1 so I am happy that I worked on this caliber. Thanks for the help.

32 ACP can be fun. Last one I had was in '82 but it shot good with cast bullets @ 231.
