    are you loading these in 327 brass if so would you share some loading data. and are you using these loads in a rifle. i just got a 22 inch 327 barrel for the contender and looking for some small game loads.

    Yes, in 327 brass and I use them in both a Henry and an SP101. Won't have my load journal available for a few days, but the data is available in the Lyman manual or from the Hodgon site.
    Chance favors the prepared mind.

    what do you use your handi rifle for and what is your favorite load for it. i just got a new 22" 327 contender barrel from mgm so i'am looking for rifle loads with wad cutters for small game hunting mainly squirrel hunting.

    I don't have a 327 rifle, but my 32 H&R loves 7.5 2400 and the 115gr Lyman 31108. Velocity runs abt 1450fs and it shoots 1/2" groups at 50 yd. A grain or 2 more should work in the 327. Another good load is the 85 gr Lyman 311419 over 4.0 231.

    The following are all .32-20 loads put up for use in my Winchester M92 built in 1919, with a fair bore. All show no signs of excessive pressure....but work up for your own guns if interested. All cycled just fine through my M92. All are alloyed ACWW with a pinch of tin for fill out, with 50-50 alox/beeswax lube.

    Shooting done seated with a single bag off my porch rail with no rear bag support. White sloped bead front, and an older Lyman tang peep sight rear.

    Lyman 311008 sized 0.312"
    ***3.3 Bullseye = 1/2" at 35 yds, Peep sight
    **4.6 Unique = <3/4" 35 yds Peep Sight
    7.0 Blue Dot = 1" 35 yds Peep sight
    4.4 Win 231 = 1" 35 yds, Peep sight
    9.0 SR4759 = 1" 35 yds, Peep sight

    Lyman 313249 sized 0.312"
    4.0 SR4756 = 1" 35 yds, Peep sight
    **3.8 Win 231 = <3/4" 35 yds Peep sight

    Lyman 311316 GC sized 0.312"
    4.4 Unique = 1" 35 yds Peep sight
    7.5 current production 2400 = 1/2" 35 yds, Peep sight
