First I better see if I can figure out how to post this pic here.160745
Ok I think that worked. I would like to ask advise on working up a full magnum load for this gun. The previous load ended up being like a strong 32 long load because with straight COWW it would lead if the velocity was higher. I have other guns to shoot loads like that, so the Taurus sits all the time unused. The groove is .312, and the throats are .314. Boolit moulds I have are 85RN Lyman PB, 90 SWC TL Lee, 115 NOE 314008 GC. Powders, bullseye, red dot, unique, 540/hs6, 296. I have COWW and Lino for alloy. What do you guy's think?

The NOE 314008 is your best bullet.

3 grains of Bullseye is start, approximating factory 1000 fps velocity. Do not exceed 3.5 grains.
Red Dot can be cautiously used with same range of charges.
+1 grain above the Bullseye loads for Unique, but no higher! Gets "peaky"
7 grs. of Alliant #2400 approximates .32-20 factory velocity

I have gone to 8 grains of 296/H110 in Starline H&R Mag. brass with Federal 200 primers in my RUGER and MARLIN.

Your mileage may vary.

I use 12-13 BHN alloy, size bullets .314 and use LSStuff 45-45-10 with no leading.

AA#9 is the bomb for hot 32H&R mag. loads.

Your leading problem may be your barrel if it's rough. Otherwise look at a better lube, and bigger boolits to stop gas bypass and cutting. Hard helps accuracy, but isn't the fixer of leading we might think it is. Maybe 666+1 lube. I use carnauba red a lot, but I have never had big problems with leading even with 50/50 alox/bzwx. Accuracy goes way before leading happens. mds (molybdenum disulfide) was the predessesor of epoxy coating, it might help, so might powder coated boolits.

I think you are lucky. My Taurus in 32 S&W has .321 throats and a .312 bore. That was a little harder to fix.

Could you tell me what OAL you use with the 314008, or where to crimp it?
