Need info. on a good safe hand load for a Colt Police Positive Special in 32-20. Plan to use a 95 or 100 grain jacketed bullet(to stop the horrible leading with factory loads). Not looking for super velocity or certainly not high pressure. The old Colt is nice and tight and very accurate. Just hate all the lead I'm getting. Can anyone reccomend a load that will result in around 1100/1200 fps. Thanks, John

Have you sluged your barrel? I'll be willing to bet your leading problem emanates from undersized bullets. Chances are you would be a lot better off using .311/.312 dia. bullets made for either the Toke pistol or the SKS ( light loads only ).
