This month was close to previous entries in Field Pistol:
24/40
Using an 8 3/8" barreled S&W 16-4 in .32 Mag.
Same bullets as last month but slightly different load, which seemed to peter out between Turkeys and Rams, needing a fair amount of elevation change.
Badman Bullets purchased cast FB/FP, weighing 101.2-4 grs. 0.314" dia.
Starline brass, WW SP, 10.2gr Canadian IMR4227, older can.

Load in testing was accurate enough, but the operator felt a bit off. Misses on Turkeys were all close, Rams took a bit of extra dialing-in to get well on.

Have used an additional grain of powder by seating the bullet further out, but rear sight wouldn't go low enough. May utilize the extra power charge for Rams in the future. Easy extraction, no leading, regardless.

As an aside: Had lots of pierced primers using Remington 1 1/2s, none with Winchester primers with all loads tried to date.
