10-30 grains of FFFg powder is the normal range of charges used in a .32 cal. rifle. YOU DON'T need much more than that, because the weight of the ball is so LIGHT that it simply cannot be expected to shoot well in any kind of breeze. On a dead calm day, however, a .32 can do amazing things out at 100 yards. And, in the hands of an old target shooter, who really knows how to READ the wind currents, small groups at 100 yds with that caliber are also very possible, even on a windy day.
My brother watched Phil Quaglino shoot all "10s" on a 100 yd. target this past Spring, on a windy day, shooting a new, .28 caliber rifle he built from scratch! He chose to fire the gun when the trees growing out of the backstop behind his target were moving a certain amount.
