Thanks for the encouragement. You have always been very patient with me and my rants. I have fought fouling in my gun for the last couple of years. Previously I had poor results with lead which now I attribute to my loading techniques. Just for grins I loaded the rest of the T&B 62 gr LSWC that ...

Hi y’all, It’s been a while since I have posted here. I wanted to put in a plug for the thread over in the Olympic shooting subject about the Pardini trigger adjustment. That short thread has a tremendous amount of information available and for the Pardini shooter that has, or is, experiencing a tri...

At the expense of angering some folks on this forum, I need to vent a little about this subject. I’ve been thinking about my “visit” for a few days and it kind of makes me mad that Pardini advertises a specific address when they don’t actually work there. There are pictures of them with high level s...

Hello again everyone. I was wondering if I could get some opinions on what is going on with this target. I was shooting a variety of load recipes, some with LSWC and JHP. This was a sighter target using factory Hornady .32 ACP. I shot the first, closest 5 rounds as a baseline then started shooting a...

Hi everyone. At the risk of displaying my ignorance, I feel compelled to tell/warn anyone that is in the Tampa area for a while and feels like stopping by the Pardini USA site, that the address on their web site is not their actual location. That address is just the FFL they use to send NFA items to...

Thank you Sir for the feedback. I’ll try that out. Thinking about it now, the Pardini in the Ransom is a pretty big cantilever, not to mention the adaptor mechanism. I have had good luck in the past with a rest and bags, I just thought I could impress myself with a Ransom Test. I think I may have a ...

Hello again everyone, After quite a while of getting the equipment and practice of reloading .32 ACP, I have some accuracy questions that I hope y’all can address for me. I have gone through all the forum talk and reloading data and decided on the following parameters: case length .670 to .674, OAL ...

Ok, thanks for the info. I will try and draw up what we are talking about and show it before I head out to the shop for production. I'm on the road right now and won't be home until the end of the week. If my last message sounded disjointed then I apologize. I was in the Atlanta airport with weather...

Thanks for info. I guess I didn't fully understand the earlier discussions. So when I go to the machine shop I want to tell them that what I want is to make the total shaft .314 and the second step area that is currently .314 make sure it is flared in order to not catch on the case lip. What size sh...

I have an M expander but have not used it yet. I measured the expander and see the first step is .310 and the second step is .314. I will try and submit a picture of the expander insert to illustrate what I'm talking about. I am thinking about taking the insert expander piece (it unscrews) and takin...

Thanks for all the good info. I'm not a volume shooter. I am more of a consistent practicer constantly striving for improvement. I grew up shooting junior NRA and have always preferred the zen-like target shooting from the line whether it is rifle or handgun. I just recently started getting involved...

Thank you Sir. I wasn't sure how to get dies that are the size we want. There is no place on any of the web sites that gives specific dimensions. Most companies just list .32 ACP with no accompanying information. I will contact the companies and see what I get ordered. I'll let everyone know what I ...

Hi everyone, Thanks for the great info and the updates on the .32 ACP load configuration. I wanted to confirm the die setup. I was thinking about the Redding Pro series .32 ACP three die set in addition to the Lyman expander M series .32 ACP die. I can't find the actual dimensions on these dies and ...

That's great information. Thanks. Two questions though. Are you talking about the Hammerli Trailside/Xesse magazine spring 5 pack ($29.95) at Larrys guns? Did you just replace one for one with the .32 magazine springs? They look a little long, like some trimming may be needed. Second question, does ...

Hi Zip, I went with the .32 ACP conversion after talking with Alex at Pardini USA. I went with the idea that if I get the right equipment now, I wouldn't have to upgrade later. However, after reading about the .32 in all the various threads on the target talk forum I began to think that I would eith...

Ok, thanks for the info. I'll check out that thread. I was thinking for a while that I had made a mistake getting the .32 acp conversion. Sounds like it should work out now.

Hi Zip, any update on the T&B SWC rounds? I'm thinking about trying them out with the star line brass in my pardini. Thanks, Emmett
