Brass does matter. Starline, for example, is a +P web design and is fine for full length RN or SWC loads. When you seat a WC deep into a +P case, the skirt gets compressed and accuracy fails badly BTDT.

I also use a Redding micrometer measure on a Dillon 550 for these charges.

Remington and Lapua are true straightwall cases. I have ball end mikes and checked. The Starline start at 8 mils and quickly swell to 17 where the base of bullet would be.

I see Midway has a 32 Mag profile crimp but not a 32 S&W. Will that work?
I think it is only the length that changes.

Anders;

I, too, am VERY interested in one of your powder bars. I'm in the US. Are you going to make any more?

PM sent.

Just general information, I don't load .32, but avoid the cheaper powders you listed, Titegroup is notorious for significant pressure swings based on temperature. VV is going to be your best bet, regardless of flavor.

As for flaring the case mouth, Just rotate the die 1/8th of a turn for each case until you like the performance in the seating station, then turn it back a bit. Worked brass is bad, but a worked bullet is worse.
