Anyone have load data for 7.62 converted 32-20

[Lcpl Martin]

I have finally got everything (except powder!) read to go for reloading. I have 100 32-20 brass and the Lee 7.62 dies to convert them. I have 1000 32 .314 90g SWC and I really want to get started on the loading. Here is my problem. I have the Hodgodon Basic Reloading Manual but it doesn't have any load data for the 90gr swc bullets I have. Anyone have any load data for these? On a side note I wanted to get bullseye powder since everyone really has good things to say and I want to reload 9mm as well, but it is sold out everywhere. Does anyone have any experience here that can set me up with some load data.

If it is really and truly a 32-20 chamber, you use 32-20 load data.

You can use the data for 95-100GR bullets with no problem. There are all sorts of components available for the 32WCF/32-20 cartridge.

What kind of firearm do you intend to shoot these handloads in? The .32-20 is one of those cartridges where that little fact has a HUGE bearing on the pressure level of an appropriate load.

This seems to be a case of using 32-20 WCF brass in a 7.62 Russian Nagant revolver.

As such, I would seek out 7.62 Nagant data, or stick with 32-20 WCF Cowboy Action data.

Alliant lists a 98 grain lead bullet load in the Cowboy Action section as using 2.9 grains Bullseye, 3.5 Unique, or 4.4 Power Pistol.

Hodgdon lists 77, 90, and 115 grain lead bullets, using WW231/HP38, Titegroup, and Trail Boss.
They list 85 & 100 grain jacketed using Lil'Gun and Titegroup but again, use starting load data in the Nagant.
Go to thier website for data.
