R1 has not been sold here in the US for better than 10 years, so not a lot of us have any recent experience with it. It has a burning rate that is about the fastest ever made, so powder charges will be very light.
All the old links I have for this powder are dead. Sorry.

Alliant Bullseye 2.5gr. to 2.8gr.
Winchester WST 2.6gr. to 2.9gr.
All with a 148 HBWC seated flush with medium to medium heavy crimp.
Good Shooting, Gort

Both my M52 and Colt .38 Spec. conversion shot most accurately with 3.2 gr of 700X and a Speer HBWC (now changed in design).

Hi.
Try VV N310, an exellent powder for light targetloads in .32 and .38 (and .45acp)
It`s the fastest burning powder from Vitavouri.
