.32-20 Advice Needed

Schutzenbob · 11-10-2024, 08:38 PM

I love 32-20 AKA 32 WCF, it's a fine pistol cartridge. I have a Colt single-action 32 WCF that shoots like a rifle. The best load I've found for it is 3.5 grains of W231 with a 115 grain Ideal 3118 bullet. I use small rifle primers 'cause the hammer is very heavy and the firing pin is large. If you're worried about pressure you can use 3 grains of W231.

Hey bob, just an FYI, but this post is from 2007
