Reloaded 50 of the Lehigh Defense 55 gr .32ACP and averaged 900 fps at about 7 feet. Fiochii 73 gr fmj were about 783 fps. Bullet looks like a phillips heads screwdriver. All shot without any problem in my little mouser Kel-Tec P32. No rim lock or any problem at all, Virtually no recoil. So my conclusion is that if you occasionally carry a mouser (in a pocket holster) you want the most capable cartridge for it and that seems to be what this is. Load data came from Lehigh site. Try to get that from Berry. Used True Blue as it was only powder I had on Lehigh list. First time I used it and meters very well.

I used new Starline brass (fragile) as I am not going to waste my time trying to pick up those tiny cases.

Working on reloading some .32ACP with LeHigh Defense xtreme defense 55 gr bullets. I sometimes carry a Kel-Tec P32 mouse gun and wanted to try a bigger mouse in it. These are not easy to load, especially my first time using True Blue. That powder makes water look like molasses. LeHigh, Midwayusa and Underwood sell this stuff but just a good excuse to add some dies. Anyone have any experience with the leHigh copper bullets? Bought some 38 special LeHigh bullets too to try out too.

Churned out some 45ACP, 230 gr FMJ, 4.2 gr w231, 1.256 col using my new Lee Auto Drum powder measure. Would not cycle my Ruger sr1911 and need to bump my loads but didn't have time. Auto drum is fantastic at turning out exact drops with w231 on every drop, very easy to adjust. Even tested with 700x and it did a very good job. Probably need to be closer to 5 gr with w231.

Just got a used and somewhat neglected Mec Grabber 8567, converted it to N model with new primer feeder and spending forever cleaning and adjusting the crimper to get it perfect. Also learning how hard it is to pick up 7 1/2 lead shot from everywhere mixed with Clay powder. Never spilled anything with my single stage but this progressive is killing me. I need to design a pan to catch all the spills. The learning curve.

Turned out some 12 gauge 7/8 oz 7 1/2 magnum shot loads to wipe out some clays.

I installed a MEC sizemaster for 12 ga and have started reloading shotshells. Was able to get an 8# jar of Clays from Cabela's. Working on 7/8 oz loads. For the question of which dies for pistol, I use the Lee dies and I think the Lee factory crimp is one of the best. Never had any problem with Lee dies.
