I have been neglecting the few I have left lately. (No they wouldn’t fit in the safes they went over the back of the boat!!)
This one is a custom. It was built by a good friend on another forum and it’s a good shooter. He used a donor 20g and a take off SMLE barrel. Fit to stub then chambered 32/20. BarreL was left 22” scopes with a Bushnell 6x TV view in Leupold rings and a Steel base.
I stocked it in black laminated factory wood. Fully free floated fore stock.
I was loaned a milhec mold couple
Months back. Only the mold I got was not what I was looking for. Turned out to be a 311-140 HP mold. One regular and Penta HP pin. I cast up some but not allot. After It was swapped for the one I should have gotten I remembered it might be a dandy for the 32/20 SS!!
Yesterday I decided to load some up. Probably is there is no data for bullets more than 120g in this caliber.
This is a real strong action so Not allot of worries as long as I was smart. I started with AA1680. It’s pretty slow and I probably cannot get enough in the case to over pressure it. 9.0 was my start and 12 my max.
No pressure signs noticed. BUT 11.5 showed velocity swings and usually that a tell your getting close to dangerous.
I think I’ll stick with 10.5g. But gonna run a .1g ladder starting @10 going to 11g. SD was SINGLE digits up to 11g.
