My load for the Ranch Dog 314-75 is 3.2 gr Unique JA-32. Mauser 1914, 1923 Ortgies & MAB 1942 But look at it as max ( It really isn't) However start with 3 grain unique That load is safe No need to punish the arm ( You will be chasing that precious .32 brass!)

Outpost75 and JWFilps I Appricate Your taking the time to awnser my question . I have not cast a bullet yet but am working at it hard and gathering informatin . Wish Ranch Dog was still in production , seems that many liked his molds . Hope the 30 cal light plinker mold in the group buy section gets enough takers to go into production , dont need but a few more .

I say work up your load from where outpost stated and go from there.That is what I did on my reloading for 32acp and it shoot better then the factory rounds i bought when I got the gun that is a Keltec P32.I was shooting a 85gr cast in it.Use the powder you have on hand that is in the data and go from there.

Red Dot is not my favorite powder for this usage as it doesn't meter all that well and this is a cartridge where "+/-" a tenth or two may be too much. That said, I have used 2.0 grains Red Dot in my Tomcat with the RD 314-75 boolit. Function was good, and accuracy was on par with my expectations for that gun.

Normally I use WW-231, but I intend to give Titewad a try, since I am still trying to burn up a jug I bought in error last year. It works well in target load 38 wadcutters, and one of the members here touts it as being good in the 32 ACP as well.
