Mainly .32 S&W Long.
Eventually .32 H&R magnum and .25 acp.
Will be using a Lee auto drum on a Lee turret.
Loads for these range from 1.0 to 3.0 for the .25 and .32 Long.

Bullseye, AA#2, Winchester 231, HP-38. Perhaps AA#5 or Unique for the H&R
PV shows a bunch of powder in stock. I order pistol powder yesterday (Vv n320) and they had several AAs powders in stock.
A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.
Thanks, I'll look up load data and choose one of the AA's.
If you just want "plinking" loads for the revolver, then Trail Boss is fabulous...
NB: You're using a Dillon, right? If you're really going to be loading 1-3 grains, then buy the "extra small" powder bar.
I realize you're using a Lee PM, so this may not apply. My RCBS Uniflow measure does not do well at the very low end with flake powders. Win 231 has about a perfect burn rate for the little .32 S&W case, but I get several tenths of a grain difference on every throw. This ends up being a significant change in percentage for such a small charge. When I bump up to 4+ grains of 231 for larger cartridges, I get consistent throws every time. It just doesn't do well for such a small charge.
I end up having to weigh and trickle every charge. That makes sense when loading precision rifles. Not so much on a little revolver cartridge. I suspect Trailboss would be many times worse.
As noted, the small spherical AA powders run much more consistently for me for the small charge weights. I have used AA#2, #5, and #7 in .32 H&R, but have pretty well settled on just AA#2 for the smaller .32 SW-L case. It works just about perfect for that cartridge.
