To the Esteemed Collection of the Wise and Erudite,
I am looking for recommendations for a high density load for my .32 WCF that yields low pressure, velocities in the 900fps range out of my wife and daughter's Pasta SAA clones with 4 3/4 barrels for Cowboy Action Shooting.
My current load is a 115 pill (.313 from https://cowboybullets.com/32-cal-115-grain_p_11.html ) over 4.6gr of Unique with a CCI 400 SRP.
My goal is to teach my youngest daughter to reload the .32WCF and I want a powder that makes a double charge observable by eye. And of course I want limited leading on non-GC boolits and small velocity SDs and meters well in a Dillion Percussion powder measure:).
Here is my current "menu" of options:
