Try 1.7 grains of WST and
a 98 grain HBWC, with Federal Small Pistol primers.

84 grain W/C, sized .312 - .313, holds the 10 ring @ 50 yds. all day for me.
That is, of course, from a ransom rest. I'm nowhere near that good! This is,
naturally for the .32S&W LONG!

I've been using 1.6
grains 700X, Federal primers, Lapua cases, an 84-grain RCBS cast wadcutter sized
.314 with excellent results (2/3 of the X-ring at 25 metres in a Walther GSP) --
and I found NO CRIMP works best. Just take the flare off the case mouth. A crimp
adds a variable -- if one case is a couple of thou longer than another, it gets
more crimp, scraping the lead bullet more.

Ive done some
reloading for my hamerli SP-20. From what I’ve read and what I’ve dug up on the
web. Seems Lapua cases are the best because they are sturdier. They are also
expensive. I’ve used over a thousand Remington cases I bought from midway
without a failure. Midway sells a box of 1000 cases for about 82 bucks. Ive shot
magnus cast bullets 98grain WC with good result. I’ve read that lapua's 98 grain
hollow based wad cutter is better, but I haven’t tried it yet. I read Don Nygord
supposedly uses Winchester W231 powder, Viata oy N310 is also popular with the
crowd that knows. Personally, I like the N310 better because it burns so clean,
and I shoot indoors. I really don’t think the primer makes much difference. I
use federal. You have to be very careful reloading this one cause it takes such
a very little powder. If you goof you can easily double charge the powder and
not notice it because the case is so long. Also since the charge is so small the
weight difference between the max and minimum is only a few ten's of a grain. So
be very careful. I’ve also read that to crimp the case very lightly for best
results. On the good side once you reload the .32's it becomes very cheep to
shoot. Reloaded 32 only cost slightly more that .22 ammo. Ive reloaded about a
thousand rounds on my hornady progressive carefully without a hitch. Good luck,
Carl

For my Wather GSP
32 S&W.
I use the following load specs.
Magnus bullets: sized to .314
solid Wad Cutter
1.7 gr. Bullseye Powder
Lapua also makes a good hollow
base Wad Cutter, but they are hard to find. Sized to .3135
Give it a try.
