Re: Problem with 208s

Sounds like a magazine problem to me. Borrow someone's good working magazine and try it in your gun.

Re: Pardini HP 32, ammo talk

Has any one used Jagemann brass, Natchez has it listed 100 for $17.99. I've tested 20 different brands of brass in my Pardini but not this one.

Re: best all round pistol for olypmic style shooting?

Your club shooters are shooting the 32 S&W long which do break extractors.
Shoot the 32acp and the extractor will not break.
Firing pins are low cost and easy to replace. I have over 100 thousand trigger pulls on one. This is usually a few years of shooting.

Re: Pardini HP 32, ammo talk

Greetings, For loading small capacity cases, like the 32 ACP, I use a Star. Excellent uniformity of powder drops. Also, the Star Machine Works will do their best to supply the proper sizing and expanding dies tailored to your reloading components. http://www.starmachineworks.com/ Cheers, Dave I als...

Re: Pardini HP 32, ammo talk

I also shoot lead and get better groups than with the 60gr XTP. You will need that custom expander
or a custom sizing die. I use a custom sizing die and do not need the expander. This gun is accurate,
and cheaper to shoot than 22's.

Re: .45 options that aren't 1911 or similar grip angle?

For me I can shoot a 3.5 of 4 lb. trigger easier with the 45 grip angle than the euro angle.
I don't think many free pistols have trigger weights in this range.

Never had any primers backing out even when trying really light loads. I use both Federal and Winchester primers.

Re: Pardini HP 32, ammo talk

Hi Old Caster, I do not use an expander. I have a series of custom made sizing dies in 0.001" increments that I match the bullet size to the brass case. Thicker brass case bigger sizing die. I do not use an expander because I observed that most cases are not uniform in thickness and strength fr...

Re: Pardini HP 32, ammo talk

Hi Shootaholic, Sorry if I mislead you. I could not get good accuracy with pure lead wire when I made hollow base bullets. When I use a harder alloy I get good results. The hollow base give a little more bearing surface that a flat base and when using a hollow point with a hollow base I get the long...

Re: Pardini HP 32, ammo talk

Hi Shootaholic, I have the same swage set up that you have. My finished bullet is 0.3148" when finished. I also have a nose punch that gives me a hollow point SWC. I could not get the hollow base to shoot well with soft lead wire. My theory is the bullet skirt deforms as it leaves the barrel. W...

Re: Pardini HP 32, ammo talk

I've tried a lot of lead bullets and this is what I've observed. Old casters bullet cast from accurate mold: soft alloy works best soft lube 50/50 works best T&B bullets: very few good groups most bad bullets seem inconsistent same bullets put in a swage = really nice consistent groups (I have a...

Re: .22 Conversion for the .32 ACP Pardini

2 guns are always better than one that you have to convert between matches. You would have your backup gun also.

Re: .22 Conversion for the .32 ACP Pardini

It probably does not show it too well in the photo but on mine I can just remove the scope and the iron sights are usable.

Re: .22 Conversion for the .32 ACP Pardini

I called Larry when I ordered my mounts. I do not know if he has them on his web site. This link will show you what it looks like.

Re: .22 Conversion for the .32 ACP Pardini

I use the Larry mounts with a scope for each barrel. It takes all the drama out of changing from 22 to CF. Change over is less than a minute and you know the gun will be sighted in. I leave my trigger set to CF weight all the time so I leave that step out when changing barrels.
