What size T&B bullet diameter for Pardini 32ACP?

Also, although hard to measure the COAL of .845" leaves about a .020" projection from the case mouth to end of bullet skirt.

Any thoughts on what I'm doing would be appreciated.

Edit:  Forgot to mention 1.6 grs. of N310 was used.

I like the 1.6.   It is a nice compromise, and you should be able to load the 85g Hornady JHP with good accuracy at the same powder charge.  You will need to adjust the seating die for an OAL of around .895
