Pearce is always a good place to start for revolver information. I'm especially curious about muzzle blast.

Thanks. I’ve been planning on researching appropriate powders, especially since one of the local shops said to expect significant price increases on powders soon. I have Unique and 231 on hand, so I’ll probably start with those
I had the opportunity to chrono some factory 32 S&W Long from a 4 inch I-Frame.
32 S&W Long Magtech 98 LWC Ave: 719 fps 6 shots
32 S&W Long Sellier & Bellot 100 grain LWC Ave: 674 fps 6 shots
This is 32 Long, not 32 H&R Mag. The 12 shots went into a 6 inch group on a steel target at 25 yards. Standing, off hand and I could almost see the sights on that ancient revolver.
This is recent ammo ordered online.
A few years old now. I don't know which loads are / are not in production.

Currently have some @Lost River WC inbound, some Starline brass and RCBS dies that I horse traded for.
One minor observation. Starline does have 32 H&R brass in stock right now but it's likely to dwindle quickly once the pistols start getting into people hands. some of you might want to get some brass stockpiled.
Just a suggestion.
