I just got a .327 LCR and am focusing on the .32 H&R as the Goldilocks .32 cartridge. Consequently, I’m looking for the best recipe for hot .32 H&R loads.
To that end, I’ve been focusing on True Blue as a powder because of it relatively fast burn rate. Looking at the reload data from RamShot there’s data for .327 loads but none for the .32 H&R.
I tried starting with 7.8 gr of True Blue which is a minimum load for the .327. That was too hot. It required a cleaning rod to remove the cases from the cylinder. But velocities were excellent: ~1300 FPS with 85 gr XTP bullets.
Anyone with experience with hot .32 H&R loads? But not as hot as a 327!
