300H&H32 Remington H335
Is there anybody that's used H335 for 32 Remington loads? My load books don't have it listed, but that's all I have. I can get Leverevolution locally, but thought I'd try what I have on hand first...
Trying to load my first rounds for a Remington Model 14 I've had for years and have yet to try. Have some old stock brass and somehow the local Fleet Farm had a bunch of boxes of Speer 170 gr. so loaded up some dummy rounds that fed perfectly.
I'm planning to use 32 Winchester Special loads as a basis, so any suggestions are appreciated!

HipshootNever tried it in a .32 Rem. but use it in a couple of .30-30's. Works good!
I would use .30-30 data less a couple of grains and work up. The .32 has a slightly bigger bore so should develop slightly less pressure than a .30-30.
Some older reloading manuals use the same data for the .30-30 and the .30 Rem.

rcraigYou'll be fine using the 32 Spl data. I use 30-30 data when loading for 30 Rem in my M30 Express. No issues.

Bill/OregonPlease share your results. I can't recall what powder I used when loading for the .32 Remington in a Model 8 some years ago.

dpcdYes to all above; in Ken Waters he uses it in the 30-30, up to 32 grains, so that is a good reference point.
335 is about the same as 3031, H332, and other medium burners.

300H&HOk, thanks all for the advice. I'll give some starter loads a try and hopefully get some chrony results, but won't be for a bit and temps will be a little chilly when I do...
