Re: sorting .32 bullets

With the commercial swaged bullets, I do not weigh them. Think about it. The bullets have grease or lube which is probably inconsistent. So are you determining the uniform weight of the bullet or the grease? Dear Dave, You are absolutely right, grease (or lube) is definitely an important and probab...

sorting .32 bullets

Do you sort your .32S&W wadcutter by weight? If so, with what tolerance? I was using Lapua and Speer 98gr bullets so far and they were quite consistent. I weighted about 200 Speer bullets from my last batch and the weight tolerance was +/- 0.3gr which I decided to be insignificant enough so I di...

Match cartridge for Manurhin MR38

I'm considering buying a brand new Manurhin MR38 for CFP competition (MR32 is still an option, but I already have a Pardini gun for .32 and I'm looking for something completely new/different). I will be reloading ammo on my own, so I'd appreciate if you could share your expertise about building a ma...

What kind of a dispenser do you use to produce such a precise powder charge? I'm currently looking for something similar.

Re: 32 bullet and barrel sizes.

As a complete newbie I need some advice. My bore diameter is about .313" (Pardini HP) so I should probably go for .314 bullets. Currently I have a Lyman full length expander which measures .312 (the small upper ring is .315). The length of the plug is about .550. I gather from this thread that ...

Re: Beginner reloading .32 rounds

I'm just starting reloading .32 for my old Pardini HP. It always worked great with factory Lapua 98gr but the current ammo prices are killing me and I need to switch for home production ;-) I slugged my barrel, it turned out it was .313, so I think I should go for .314 bullets (probably Lapua rounds...

I have LP10e and used to shoot with LP10. The difference in trigger work between those is very subtle and completely negligible. In my shooting career I have tried several trigger settings (including "single stage") and eventually I have always been reverting to 60/40 weight distribution. ...
