I have been looking for rifle data for this cartridge but it seems to be a lost cause. I am shooting a 215 gr. swaged lead bullet with a 1/16 PVC base wad over IMR SR-4759 because it fills the case better than IMR4227. Pistol data abounds but rifle data is scarce. Do any of you shoot a similar load or perhaps know of a source of information on this cartridge in a rifle? Anybody have any lead bullet loads for this cartridge?

I think pistol load data will work just fine.
The Herret is not a high capacity case.

I will have to dig but might come up with some data, if I can remember!!! I worked up a load when I was in a logging camp in the Tongas for the Lyman 280gn RNGC that was giving 1500 fps from a 10" barrel.
BTW I have some 357 and 30 Herrett brass I would trade for some 32/20 brass
