Need loads for a 32 Wadcutter
I need loading data for the 32 Wadcutter.
I will be using a Walther GSP.
I will be loading on a Dillon SD press with Dillon dies.
I have a quantity of Magnus Wadcutters 98 Grain.
I will be shooting at 50 yards and 25 yards.
Any help would be appreciated.

Bullets Size Is Paramount
Greetings,
The Walther GSP-C and Expert models "usually" have groove diameters of 0.314".
I suggest using H&N 0.314" HBWC with 1.4 grains of VV N310.
If you go with a cast bullet, be sure it is sized to 0.314" minimum and use 1.65 grains of Winchester WST powder.
I recommend the use of Lapua, R-P, or Fiocchi brass. Avoid StarLine, W-W, and Federal as the case walls are too thick in the midsection for loading full wadcutter bullets.
Last, make sure the barrel is CLEAN. I use Hoppes #9 and a 0.338 Rifle Brass Brush to clean out the fouling from the barrel and chamber. Push the brush all the way through (Do no reverse direction with the brush in the barrel).
Enjoy.
Cheers,
Dave Wilson

My wife and I both have GSP 32's, I have had great results with VV N310. I load 1.7 gr. for 50 yards, and 1.4 gr. for 25 yards. I used to use the Magnus wadcutters, but grew tired of sorting out the imperfect bullets. I switched to Dardas bullets. the bullets look like he uses the same mould, but after several thousand, I still haven't had to reject any. They come in several diameters, I use .314 in our Walthers. Good luck and good shooting
