So, feel free to share how you select from two sources of data that do not align with one another. Are they both right, both wrong, do you do an average between them or 3 or 4 if there are multiple sources of data, start with the lowest load data published? I certainly don't know.
The Beretta and the CZ are marked 7.65, the Taurus is marked .32 ACP, and I can't find a caliber marking on the FN Browning Model 1922. They all run with the same reloads.I haven't looked to see what my ".32 ACP" guns are marked, but my reloads work in them all. I'll look and see what they are marked when I get home.
I have always considered 7.65 and .32 ACP to be the same thing.
I think they are basically, trying to figure it out - just some small variances between the standards. Trying to learn where it comes into play reloading for it. Thanks for sharing your experience.I have RCBS .32 ACP dies and they work great with the horrid mix of range brass I have, even get plenty of neck tension with the very thin walled stuff (Some is real thick).
They have worked great with all of the various ".32" bullets I have tried, 60 Gr XTP, 71 Gr Berrys, 71 Gr Hornady, unknown 71 Gr, Blem/overstock? 65 Gr Hydrashoks etc....
I bought some blems that looked to be 60 Gr XTPs, and likely are, but about a third of them were .3085/.309 and did not give enough neck tension. The others were .312/.3125
and worked great. I haven't looked to see what my ".32 ACP" guns are marked, but my reloads work in them all. I'll look and see what they are marked when I get home.

The "Plunk" testYour chamber is the best case gauge. That's what your rounds have to fit. It doesn't matter if they fit a case gauge or not.
So they did "chamber" when the slide went forward as I asked? If so, shoot them.I inked the cartridges and put them in and out of the chamber
