looking for load data ,some place to start federal 327 mag

[edadmartin]

Im going to reload for federal 37 mag, and cant find data for the powders I have on hand. First Ill be using the MB lrnfp .313 cowboy #6 100gr Id like load data for any of these powders. AA#2, reddot, ramshot comp, 700x and 800x All help appreciated.

AA #9 is my choice in 327 and .32 H&R magnum. I'm using 10.0 grs in my .327, and It's hot, but not any where near max. Lyman 311316. I've seen 13.0 grs in data elsewhere (be careful).

all your powders are a bit fast for anything approaching top velocitys in a 327. If your looking for plinking loads with those powders start at top end 32 mag loads with the same powders. If you want serious loads look to 2400, aa9, 4227 or 110. I too use 10 grains of aa9 in the 32 mag and it would be a good place to start with your 327.

LLoyd thanks for the suggestions. Yes all the powders I have,I picked up during the last powder scare with 45 acp in mind. I love AA-2 for 45acp. So I want to use what I have , mainly because I just cant get my hands on any hp110, lil gun ,2400 AA-9, longshot locally in colorado springs co. Online the hazmat fees make powder to expensive. So starting with max 32 magnum loads with red dot or AA-2 is the best idea Ive heard yet !! Yes im just thinking plinking loads cause thats all I do. Hey anyone in/near Colorado springs have any hp110, lil gun ,2400 AA-9, longshot they could sell me, seriously!!! Ill pickup !! let me know.

Lil'Gun shines in the .327 for jacketed, for cast I've just been running TG and Uniq.

You could try 4 - 5 grains of the AA2, Red Dot or 700X with your 100 grain bullet. I run 4.2 grains 231 with the Hunter 115 rnfp in 32HRM cases.

With 800X I'm thinking to start about 5.5 grains and work up. That's about 32 mag max pressure (20k psi), so your 327 cases will bring that down bit.

327 Fed is a 42,000 psi cartridge with the recommendation to use SR primers. When you get close to the top with fast powders you leave very little margin for error. If you just want plinkers start at 32 long loads + 10%.

for a plinker load in my single seven and my gp100 327 fed I like the lee 90 gr swc sized to .314 over 10.5 gr of 4227 it shoots good but very dirty. ive also shot same bullet over 4.5 of 231 with good results and I experimented a time or 2 with 700x I think 4.5 gr it also shot decent . ive got a decent amount of bullseye and red dot here I plan to experiment with those in the 327 in the future

4.0 grains of Red Dot with your 100 grain boolit will shoot pretty well.

I have been working extensively with my Single 7's, but most of my efforts have been in the Magnum end. The best load I have tried to date is a .313 100 grain NEI SWC lubed with Ben's Red over 11.8 grains of ww-296. I recently scored a pound of AA-9 which will be my next project. I have tried Longshot, 2400, Unique, 296, Power Pistol, Red Dot, and WW-231 with various projectiles. I have had fairly good tumble-lube results using Ben's Liquid Lube, but the accuracy does not seem to equal that provided by boolits lubed conventionally despite the lack of leading. MP moulds 314-640 100 grain HP also works very well with the above load.

Be careful using some bullets if using a Single Seven. It requires bullets with short noses and they take up a lot of space. You may end up with not much more capacity than the H&R mag. I've found out that I don't particularly like bumping up against that 42,000psi threshold and prefer staying in the mid 30s.
