I've got 1200 Speer 110 gn JHPs What to do with them? 32-20?

[omgb]

Title says it all. What to do with them? They seem small to use in my Browning 32-20 lever gun. Maybe 30-30 plinking loads?

[Hardcast416taylor]

M-1 Carbine loads.Robert

[Guesser]

I used a lot of them in 30-30 to shoot gophers with.

[omgb]

Looks like I might have a few hundred carbine cases too. I imagine I'm going to have to have a sale

Looks like all you need is a m1 carbine and some dies:razz:

[garandsrus]

A .30 Herrett would be a good choice also.

[omgb]

I've got the dies, just need a carbine

[omgb]

It's funny you would mention the Herrett. Back in the 70s I had a chance encounter with Bob Milik while I was living in Montana. As a result I bought a Contender with two barrel sets, 30 Herrett and 357 Herrett. I also bought some Pachmyre grips for them and spend a lot of time blasting away at targets out by Gibson Dam. Wish I still had that gun and those barrels. Wish Milik had live a decade longer.

I shoot them in a bolt action 300 whisper. Subsonic suppressed with red dot or American Select and all you hear is pffttt. They hit with a pop due to the wide hollowpoint.

I shootem out the odd six @ 3400fps, they make dandy varmint grenades

[LtFrankDrebbin]

Give them a go in the 32-20 you may be surprised. I use to shoot .308 j words from 100gr to 125gr in my 32-20 and they nailed critters just fine

Not sure how the HP's will fare, but the Speer 110 RN is one of the most accurate bullets I ever shot from a few different 30-30's.

Not a brag,just the plain simple truth,I shot a deer at 600 steps using 110 grain soft point bullet.They bullet didn't have enough enegry to penetrate the skin on the opposite side.This deer would have been 10 pointer but had been shot earlier and the antler that was left had a buckshot inbedded in the rack.It was a 5 point.The game warden came upon me and a couple of others while we were looking the deer over and realised that it was a sick,infected deer and told me not waste a tag on it just take it back in the woods to dispose of it.The jaw bone was broke.he had already shed one side of his rack some time before I shot him but the spot was still bloody.I looked for the other antler but idn't find it.

I may be missing something, but did you mention what caliber the bullets are?

[dragon813gt]

I don't know about others but I don't shoot .312 jacketed bullets out of .308 bores. These 1200 bullets sound about perfect for use in 327 Federal, 32 H&R Magnum or 32 S&W Long.

Where did anyone say they were .312"? I know it's wrong to assume but I did just that thinking they are .308" 110 gr. which was intended for the carbine and was one of the original bullets used in developing the 30 Herrett.

[northmn]

I think you need to check as the 32 bullets are 100 grain. For those that liked the 30 Herrett I played with the short 7.62 Russian for the Kalishnikov rifle (can't remember the designation, grey hair) in a TC Encore and it was an almost exact duplicate of the 30 Herrett without the B.S. of case forming. It was a fun cartridge but personally the Contender/Encores did not impress me all that much. I prefer cast in my 32-20 and would use them up in a 30-30 or sell them off.

The thread title mentions 32-20 which is a .312 bullet. The OP didn't make it very clear what he had. I would not use .308 bullets in 32-20.

That's what I'd do. Sell or swap them for something you can use.

[Geezer in NH]

Sold my 30 Herret barrel as soon as a 30-30 barrel came about. No screwing making brass and just as accurate and more power.
