32 Special FTX

[rjathon]

Does anyone know how to duplicate the Hornady Leverevolution FTX ammo?

Thank you

I don't know about 32 special, but I've pretty much duplicated their 30-30 leverevolution using the powder and bullets Hornady sells (using their load data).

Edit: I pretty much stopped using these in my lever guns - not because they aren't impressive, because I got tired of moving my sights. I have a SRC (with the carbine sight of course) that will not adjust enough to use any sort of normal sight hold before 150 yards. As a matter of fact, the notch is dead on with 150gr cast at 125 yards, and also at about 155 with my ftx loads.

Leverevolution Powder and the Hornady 165gr FTX bullet should get you there. Hornady 10th edition has data. Not really much difference between the 170 Speer(bc .297) and 165 Hornady (bc .310) in long range drop, The Leverevoltion powder does gain about 100 fps(2300fps) over some other powders (2200 fps plus).

cfe223 will get you about the highest velocity possible

Thank you. Does anyone use Alliant Power Pro 2000-MR?

Work up to 38 gr of LeveRevolution under the 165 FTX bullet. Out of a 20" barrel it will push it about 200 fps faster than most every other suitable powder at 2350+ fps. Out of a 24 or 26" barrel, if your lucky enough to have one, it will push the 165 FTX upwards of 2450 - 2500 fps. The pressures will be less than the other powders also.

Larry,

If you were interested in medicine instead of guns you would have cured cancer by now.

Thank you!
