Today I'm going to try the IMR4227 in my 32-40s They say it's the best!!! I've always use IMR3031 So I will give a Range Report on the Old ones !

.32-40... as American as baseball, apple pie, Marlin, Winchester, Ballard...when I think of the .32-40 I see stars and stripes emblazoned upon a cobalt blue sky over a ticker tape parade with John Philip Sousa's band playing "Semper Fidelis". It's as beautiful as a SCOTUS with a consistent 6-3 conservative majority, an authoritative repeal of NFA '34 with an executive order for mandatory reciprocal CCW status. TRUMP, die gratis POTUS!
And, yes, IMR4227 and a Hoch 165gr BHN 8-12 sized to throat with carnuba red will suffice. I can hear the distinct thwack of that soft flat nose boolit striking a Pennsylvania buck in the thorax, as beautiful as the melodious score of "Hail Columbia"!(tears of joy upon my maxilla)...

you're making me feel bad. I have a custom Ruger # 3 in 32-40 with a bunch of new Winchester brass in 20 round boxes (new about 30 years ago) I best anneal it before using any of it, & I have never fired the rifle. I will come warm weather again.

When I was actively shooting in the Cowboy Action Shooting matches I used either my original Ballard or original Winchester 1885 HW in .32-40 with 12.0 to 12.5 grains of the old Hercules 2400 under a plain base Rapine 165 grain .321" boolit cast very hard (almost pure lino). If I wasn't winning the rifle side matches then it was definitely my own fault 'cause it sure wasn't the fault of either one of those rifles with that load! (And yes I still have both of those .32-40 rifles ... and a few more now as well!)

My mold is the old Winchester 165gr 32-40 ...It still drops a nice boolit and still works good in the 2 carbines I shoot ! my 2 rifles needs the reline
to get them back in shooting order!!!!!
