I found this at Midsouth SS

http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item.asp?sku=000066.5SWED
Would the above work as plinkers in the 6.5 Swede and 6.5 Carcano
I would apply gas checks
I am thinking 8-10gr of Unique

How about the following for a .32 Winchester Special
http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item.asp?sku=000068MMKAR
they seem a little heavy but again just a plinker
same 8-10gr of Unique.
This is my grandsons win 94 he got from his Dads Dad.

I am currently shooting an old Winchester 94 in 30-30 using
.308 150gr Lee GC FN behind 8.5gr of Unique
just to send some lead downrange.
I'm not sure of velocity but the all stay on the paper at 50 yds.

Does all this sound resonable.?

Corvette, prolly not on the 32 Winnie, it's too long. That old 94 has a 16 twist which makes it one of the finest cast boolit launchers out there. The best 'all around' boolit for it is the RCBS 32-170-FN (more $$$s than a Lee, but a better boolit for that gun). Go here and find data:

Use a .325 sizer, 32/8mm GCs, and you should be okay if the bore's not shot out. If you want some to try, PM me with your snail mail addy, I'll send you some, and you send me the postage. Try before you buy.

The Swede boolit is a good'un. In the Swede keep velocity under 1650 or you'll be looking all over for holes in your target. Twist is 7 1/2 and it plays havoc! sundog
