I am in the process of acquiring a new to me 32-40 and would like to know what your favorite loads and/or boolits are?

Fixed ammo or breach seating?

I breech seat a 168 grain bullet ahead of 14 - 14.3 grains of 4227. I have gone to 14.5 but saw no benefit. Never saw a reason to change. Not overly fast but very decent groups at 100 and 200.
