.32 WC load data?? Please list your favorite load.....

Post by THREEDFLYER »

I have recently acquired a Benelli M95e .32 WC and I am about to begin loading for it.

Anyone care to post their favorite pet load? I have some Hornady HBWC bullets ready to go.

Regards,
Tom

1.7 gr of bullseye or Vitahouri 310 for 50 yards 1.3 gr for 25.If this gun still has the factory barrel dont expect very good accuracy at 50 yards, these were designed as 25 meter guns

There is a ton of information on this site on the 32.
I would do a search, you will have your head spinning.
Also be careful with VV310, the max is 1.4 gr.
vv310 is a great powder for the 32 s&w long.
The Benelli is very sensitive with feeding and warm loads.
In mine, and I was not alone, hot loads cycle the bolt too fast and you get jams. For rapids I had to use VV310 with 1.1 gr and a 98 gr bullet.
Have fun with it.

Bullet Size is Key

Greetings,

You will obtain the best results with H&N 100 grain Match Grease HBWC bullets.

Slug the barrel and order that size or 0.001" larger.

Most likely, you will be looking for 0.314" bullets.

They are available from Cible Canada Targets.

Not sure where you found that but not true, Ive loaded hundreds with this load with no pressure or other issues. Max is 2.0 with a 83 grn bullet and 1.9 is the max with a 98 grn. the starting load for the 98 gr is 1.4.
On the Vit website it gives these numbers.
Bullet Powder Starting load Maximum load
83 LWC Lapua N310 1.7 = 807, max= [ 2.0 =938]
98 LWC Lapua N310 1.4 =764, max =[1.9 = 843]

If you have any of the above feeding issues its related to the recoil buffer, we found in testing the ones larry carter sells are too hard and cause these issues, the fix is to make your own out of the softer rubber used in many cheap advertising key fobs, sounds funny but if your tired of all the failures try it and see for yourself.
