Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 32-40

I picked up a 32-40 barrel for my CPA Schuetzen rifle. I have used it in the last couple matches and have shot pretty well. The recoil is noticeably less than my 38-55. I have been loading 16.5gr of RL 7 (16.5 gr of 4227 shoots just as well) with a Winchester Large Pistol Primer. I am breech seating a 165 gr Saeco bullet. It made a huge difference when I switched from a 20-1 to a 30-1 alloy with the softer bullet shooting way better. The 5 shot group in the picture was fired off the bench at 200 yards. The rings on the target are 3/4” apart.
