.32 H&R Magnum
Have anybody any experience with this caliber in Contender (.308 barrel)? Or .32 S&W Long...
Accuracy with lightweight .308 bullets?

Albert T. TomblinJari; I shoot the 110gr Speer and 110V-max with Accurate Powder #7-7.3gr, This data is out of Sierras manual and lists 7.4gr as max at 1150fps from a 10" contender barrel. This data is for the Contender only, do not use in a revolver. I get thumb nail size groups at 25 yards with this load. I have loaded some Sabot loads with 55gr 224 bullets but have not shot any yet to see how they group or how fast they are shooting.

<Rezdog>I'm interested in shooting some really heavy .30 cal bullets out of this case in a Contender as in a ".32 H&R Mag Whisper." Anyone tried 150 grain bullets and up?

ihmsakiwiRezdog,
I shoot 165gr cast RCBS bullets in 200metre BB silhouette standing in my T/C 10" .
Load is 9.2 gr of ADI 2205 (which is I think the equivalent of H4227......BUT CHECK THIS LOAD YOURSELF BEFORE TAKING MY WORD AS GOSPEL).
It is a joy to shoot, and I have only had one ram stand so far.

<Rezdog>Ihmsakiwi, Now we're talking. I'll verify the loads and give it a try. Many thanks. Anyone else have recommendations???
