I crono'd a few factory Remington 32-20's out of my revolver.. duplicated that load with sToOPid Midway brass that is actually shorter than SAAMI trim-to length by a few thousandths... seated an XTP on the cannelure... about 30 fps faster than the factory stuff with no pressure signs... I'll play with them in the revolver untill I get the rifle, then I'll do exactly that... play with seating depth, slower powders, heavier bullets, etc.

That Remington ammo is pretty wuss in this cartridge, because it has to be a "lowest common denominator" load... otherwise some poor schmuck is gonna orbit the receiver of his vintage Stevens rifle... in fact, the factory stuff barely met starting loads published by Lyman...

Plus, you hafta remember, it's not a 65,000 c.u.p. belted magnum we're talking here.. it's an 8,500 c.u.p. 32-20... about the only way you could destroy it would be to brim the case with HP38... and as dumb as I am, I'm not about to do something that stupid..

except squerzil hunt with a .32-20 revolver... aim for the nose, you either miss or hit 'em in the head... yeah, you waste a few more rounds that way, but putting a .22LR up their nose with my K77-22 got to be a little boring... the Brunswick Stew was tasty, though...
