Pseudonym Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 6.1. All revolvers used in ICORE matches must be .32 magnum caliber or greater. It may seem I have too much time on my hands, but I see things and my brain does not seem to shut down. I started looking into the somewhat new .30 Super Carry and wondered if it would count as a 32 mag? In factory loadings that I have seen the factory data puts loads at 125pf, it actually is a .32 caliber bullet, and exceeds most published data for .32 H&R mag. If the max pressure I have seen listed is correct it actually exceeds .327 Federal Mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revoman Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Since the diameter of the bullet is that of a .32 yes it would be legal. Such as a revolver you can shoot .357, 38 Special, 38 Long Colt and 38 Short Colt. The only thing that changed is the length. So with the 30 Super Carry the only difference between a.32 Magnum and a 30 Super Carry is the length. Next to consider to be legal would be power factor and all that has to be met is 120 PF. Now if S&W would come out with a 10 shot 30 Super Carry. Sweet ✌ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Kirby Goodman shoots a 10 shot .32 Mag in ICORE that he made. He has done very well with it. Good luck in your endeavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrrhic3gun Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 The 30 Super Carry operates at a considerably higher pressure (52,000psi max), so I'm sure any potential maker of a revo in this caliber will take into consideration the possible liability.

Joe4d Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 we end up with a new fed 10 round mag limit i could see Ruger doing this, although smaller lighter handguns probably sell alot more. Most people dont get bigger and heavier is easier to shoot. But dang if ruger came out with an off the shelf 10 shoot and speedloaders,, ? ICORE would flip out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeAZ Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Well, doesn't seem that Ruger can even get the 8 shot revo's out let alone 10 shot ..... BUT who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I think thats the new gun business model.. Have a gazzillion models, but only mfg a few of each model to create a shortage and drive up price and profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes It is quite the stout little round. It exceeds the max .327 federal at 45,000psi max and the 327 is no slouch. The 30 super carry in Federal factory loadings at listed at 45,000psi and make 125 power factor. If the factory data is correct. I am still working on loading up the 32H&R, the 327 cases are to long for rapid extraction, was trying to think up an alterative to 32H&R.

ICORE would flip out The 10 shot guns would be very nice, but I do not see any manufacture investing in that. I would prefer an 8 shot L frame in 30 super carry myself, however I do not see S&W doing that either. Edited March 20, 2023 by Pseudonym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be hesitant to shorten 32 H&R cases, those clear the chambers on the extraction rod stroke. Also the "published' data on 32 H&R is under max loadings by a large margin. The published data was to ensure safe use in the H&R revolvers chambered to shoot the round. The 30 Super Carry is rimless and .2 shorter case length than the 32H&R and a higher max pressure than the 327 Federal.. The 327 Federal are comically long when trying to pop them out as the extraction rod is not long enough. Still going to have the problem of finding the ideal (to me) .32 caliber bullet. A full round nose profile in the 115-130gr in .313 would be ideal. I did some digging on old silhouette shooting forums looking for load/bullet data and found out the T/C Contender barrels that were chambered in .32H&R were .308 diameter. The .308 diameter barrel solves the problem of finding the perfect bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find a true RN profile. I was going to try working up up a load with these when I have some time. Though I now see they have a 111gr RNHP listed for 30 Super Carry.https://www.hunters-supply.com/313-762x39-138-p-2611.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
