100 gr SWC's. 3.5 gr 700X. Eventually I work up a load with Tightgroup. Average was about 965 fps from my 1.9 in LCR. I tried slower powders but they produced alot more recoil and blast for a similar velocity. I would NOT use this load in anything but a .327 fed mag gun.
I'm not aware of a factory .32 mag load that can expand and penetrate from a snub. .32 mag and .380 are pretty similar ballistically.
Can the S&W .32 mag J handle a moderate number of .32 ag "+P" loads? I don't know. I wouldn't think they'd be any harder on the gun than a .38 +P.
