I've been doing what you're doing with the round ball loads, but have started using HP-38. Had been using Bullseye, but found that the HP-38 actually metered well through my Uniflow powder measure. The bulls eye seemed to smudge grains and wasn't very accurate under about 2 grains.

I use 1 gr. of HP with the round balls, and they shoot very well. I also shoot 77 gr. Lasercast bullets over 1.5 gr. of HP. I carefully worked up to this load, and don't recommend it to anyone else.

I got to thinking, were there any revolvers chambered for 32 S&W (short) that weren't top-breaks? jd
