    Now you've done it. You have just about "pushed" me into a 1-in-10 twist 27" MGM barrel.

    With Accurate 31-155D cast 1:30 tin lead use compressed charge of 4198 or RL7, filling case to within about 1/4" of case mouth and compressing charge about 1/8" with seated bullet.

    Makes me wish I was a caster. Do you know of a commercial seller of this bullet?

    None that I am aware of. The soft alloy is superior for subsonic rifle loads to ensure a positive gas seal at lower pressures. Hard alloy with these loads was an utter failure.

    Well thanks for all the help guys. I've decided to go with an MGM barrel in 32 H&R. I really couldn't make up my mind between that or the 32 S&W, but I don't think I'll be disappointed. I've got 400 Starline H&R brass on the way and a set of dies. The barrel itself will probably be a couple months. Thanks again for the input.

    You wont be sorry. I have had a 24" MGM 32 H&R bbl for several years. RCBs 32 98swc, 311008 and 311316 all make nice tiny groups at 50 yds. 3.5 321 is a favorite load. 85gcfp 311419 with 4.0 g also excellent. Deadly on tree rats. BTW my Ruger single seven 327 shoots 32 H&R and 32 Long very accurately. don't know how they would work in a rifle chamber, but they work just fine in a revolver.
