I picked up a Ruger Single Six in 32 H&R Mag.I loaded up some 85 and 100 Gr. Hornady XTP`s.I did not chrono them ,but off hand at 25 yds I am getting 2-3" groups dead center.It must have a Wolfe Spring kit cause trigger pull is two and a half lbs.What a little honey.Any way I want to shoot cast.Any one know what is a good weight cast to shoot?????Pet loads????Thanks ahead OB dancing

Currently, I am shooting 115 grain cast SWCs in my .32 Mag Bisley.

I have loaded the H&G 117-grain flatbased SWC in my Model 16. The bullet was designed for the 32-20, but it shoots very well in the Smith.

A few years ago there was an article in Handloader about the 32 H&R. I believe the author shot the Lyman 311316 in front of a pretty full case of AA #9, but I wouldn't recommend that without reading the article first... I suspect Wolfe Publishing still has copies of that edition.

Sounds like a neat plinker, small game pistol, and trail gun. Is there any difference in strength between the Single Six and the Bisley?

Actually, my .32 Mag is a single-six that his a Bisley grip fitted to it. So no, there is no difference in strength as far as mine is concerned.

MS Hitman,I am thinking about doing that and adding the Bisley Hammer.Did you purchase the parts form Ruger????? Big Grin

I bought the parts from Brownells actually. John Linebaugh and I put the pieces together and built the revolver. They were backordered on small Bisley hammers, so I've got it now; just not on the revolver yet.
