32 special load for a 170 gr Beartooth Bullet .323

[daisygordoninc]

I would like to test a fairly heavy load with my old Winchester 94 32 Special, made in 1903.
It has the special 32 special sight and is in very good condition. I have the Cody letter on
it. Would love to find a load that I could feel confident with for a moose this fall. I just had
my gunsmith clean it up and check it out, he believes it is in excellent condition. I have some
170 gr. .323 Beartooth Bullets, cast, with gas check. Anyone had any experience with this
bullet in a 32 special?

Not that bullet but the Lyman 321297 and a NOE 323 180 gr. I load them over 27.5 gr of 30-31 or 25 of Reloader 7. Both loads shoot around 1900-2000 fps and could be heated up if I wanted.
I bet no moose would walk away from that bullet at 2000 more than 100 yards.

My old 32 special was made in 1911 & I shoot the same weight & powder as Ed but the mold
is a old Ideal with gc is around 180 grains, great shooter & deadly
