32 W.S. Load Data Leverevolution Questions

Spring1898 · Oct 15, 2019

So I took ownership of a couple pounds of Leverevolution powder for my 30 30, 32 WS, and 35 Remington.

The only 32 WS load data I could find comes from Hornady where the same charges are listed for the FTX and the traditional FN, the former of which seats much further into the case than the latter.

I also noticed something interesting.
Speer's load data underloads Leverevolution by about 1 gr in the 30 30 putting alliant's Power Pro on top by a good margin. Are Alliant and Speer are part of the same company?

For 32 WS, They don't have a load for Leverevolution, but the Power Pro max load is 4.5gr higher than 30 30, and they claim it is pushing the 170gr bullet at 2400fps. That seems like a lot. I wish they listed the pressure

The Hornady Leverevolution load for 32 WS maxes at 38.5 or about 2gr higher than 30 30.

So what loads are you using for Leverevolution 32 WS, and what velocities have you seen at those loads?

As far as I know Vista outdoors owns Speer and Alliant.
Hornady is very cautious in their data and Speer data better be followed to the T or you may be showing some wicked pressure signs.
I don't load for 32, so I'm no help with that.

That explains why they put their own powder on top. Leverevolution should and does beat that velocity in 170gr, they did the same thing in the 150gr load. Now while supposedly Speer bullets have a larger bearing surface area than other bullets in this class which can lead to higher pressure, the pressures generated by leverevolution should still be well under SAAMI specs. I have my doubts whether Power Pro 2000 can generate lower pressures than Leverevolution.

Also based on the other powders listed by Speer for 30 30 and 32 WS, which are frequently higher than other published data, Speer Max loads are pretty hot.

Still it sounds like there is definitely upward potential beyond what Hornady lists in their data. Based on the other powders listed in common between the two calibers in speer's data, the top load is probably 1.5 to 2gr higher. But that is uncharted territory and all standard cautions apply.

With the platform and cartridge, I don't see the point in loading hot.
I usually find my best accuracy at our near Hornady max charges. Accuracy usually starts to suffer as you climb to the the other books max charges.

I use mostly ramshot powders with the exception of a few mixed in here and there, and they also tend to have increased accuracy nodes near the upper level, which is supposedly due to their ball powder nature.
But with Leverevolution even max loads tend to be well under SAAMI specs due to its unique burn characteristics. Generally you run out of case volume before approaching dangerous pressures.
