I ordered 500 100gr Speer Gold Dot JHP from Graf & Son's. G&S only describes them as ".32". When they arrived, the boxes were marked for .327 mag. Trouble is, I don't own a .327, only .32 H&R mags.
I want to load them with Alliant 2400 powder, at or close to max load. Speer only shows loads for .327 with these bullets, with min. 2400 loads at over 1300 fps. Their slowest load for this bullet (non-2400) is higher than 1200 fps.
Strangely, Alliant only shows loads for this bullet in .32 H&R mag, not .327. Their 2400 recipe tops out close to 1100 fps.
So, my question is: should I load these bullets for .32 H&R mag? Do they have any chance of expanding at H&R mag velocities? I would be firing from a 4" barrel S&W Model 631.
I asked Speer this question from their website last week, and have not received a reply.
Also, is this 100 gr. Gold Dot the same bullet used by Georgia Arms for their hot .32 H&R mag load?
