32 H&R Magnum Loads

I'm looking for the most accurate 32 H&R Mag loads. I have 100 grain Hornady XTP bullets, bullseye, AA#7, Power Pistol, Titegroup, and HP38 powders, WW primers, and new Starline brass. I am using a S&W 16-4, 6 inch. I like to shoot revolvers in my Bullseye league and this is my centerfire gun so recoil is a consideration especially in rapid fire. I found a lot of information, but I like to hear from the people who use these combinations.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
 
I shoot 32 S&W Long (same case design, but a tad shorter than your Magnum); using a 98gn HBWC over about 1.6gn of Win WST. As I recall it's around 700fps; you may need a bit more powder sue to the larger case volume. I've interchanged HBWC with DEWC (both 98 gns) and haven't noticed a whole lot of difference.

For bullseye, aim for between 7-800 fps to minimize recoil. You may need to up that a bit of you have a long line stage (50yds/meters.)

I was shooting about 1.3 Titegroup, but I don't think I ever chrono'd those. They were really light.

Years ago I had a 10 in Conender barrel with a 12x Leupold on it. 1 inch gun at 100 yds with 90gr Sierra and 2400. Fun cartridge, I was amazed at the accuracy.,Made pigeons at 100yds explode.
