I dunno what charge is typical in that caliber, but maybe try more than 40 gr?
I did a little "forum research" when I acquired the .32
UncleNorby, and found most guys are using 20 to 30 grains.
The Pedersoli web page shows a starting load of 28 grains and a maximum of 40. But they also recommend a .010 patch and .310 ball. I'm using .310 balls. But .010 seems to be way too thin of a patch to me. The .022 denim patches I tried loaded comfortably. I have some .010 patch material around here somewhere though, and may give it a try. Also, I have no aversion to taking the powder charge up another five or ten grains if all else fails.
I'll get this sucker figured out sooner or later. I want 25 yard groups to
never exceed one inch (aka "head of squirrel").
