.32-20 Advice Needed

Hugh · 04-14-2007, 03:13 AM

Both WW and REM made a "high velocity" 32 WCF round with a hollow point 60 gr bullet loaded to higher pressure than the "standard" 86 gr round. These were marked on the boxes "for use in rifles only". They considered them unsafe in pistols, mainly because of the Police Positive chambered in 32WCF. I have fired them and handloads that are hotter in Colt Official Police and SAA with no ill effects. Use in the S&W K frame 32-20's may be "iffy".
