In fact for gallery matches were sub sonic is required I use a 115 gr bullet @ 950 FPS.
There were factory HS loads at 1900 FPS with 165 G Jacketed bullets too. Probably way to hot for a break action. I have several old loading manuals with data covering some modern powders like Unique and 4227 if you plan to load. You can make 32/40 cases out of easier to obtain 38/55 too.

William I actually shot the .32-40 barrel on Thursday and accurate it is not. I had to hold about 2 feet below the center to hit center.
