98 gr. WC load data for .32 Magnum

[kean57]

Hello,

I picked up a box of 98 gr. cast WCs suitable for loading in .32 Long or .32 Magnum; I can't find any load data for this bullet for .32 Magnum. The powders I currently use are: Titegroup, W231, Universal Clays, WST, VVN340, and Lil' Gun.
Does anyone have any load data for a 98 grain full-wadcutter in .32 H&R Magnum?

I don't think I have any data but what I would do is look at data for the .32 S$W long and use about one gr, below the max and carefully work up.
Hornady does have data for their swaged 90 gr. HBWC though and you should be able to use that as a start for your bullets.

W231 start: 2.5 gr./700 FPS Max 3.6 gr./900 FPS

Your other powders are not mentioned but the average start load for what is in the manual rns at 2.3 gr. for a start and about 3.4 gr. as max. Dunno if that's any help but it's all I have.
