I got this pristine 32-20 HE from a member here. It is a 5" blue made in 1930. Probably a solid 95% gun
I assembled the brass, bullets, mould and dies.
I started testing my first loads (115gr cast w/ 3.6 gr ww231).
The bullets sized are .313"
Using Lee dies and not my favorite dies.
Using Dillon 550 to load on.
The WW brass is 1.28" trimmed to uniformity. ( I have RP brass and Starline also but I am starting with the WW).
Seated right to the crimp groove.
The empty sized brass is tight going into the cylinder. Sometimes it will not seat fully unless I give it a push.
Once loaded, the rounds are even more difficult to seat fully in the cylinder.
They need a REAL push to seat in the cylinder.
Once seated into the cylinder they shoot just fine.
There is no indication of leading after a dozen test rounds.
Extraction is not easy but NOT because of over pressure, that's for sure.
I have never had these kinds of issues with any revolver I have ever owned.
Care to advise on how to start attacking this problem?
