    32 Long Wadcutters

    Well, watching the ammo doom panic, I relented a bit and bought some 32 SW Long 100 gr lead wadcutters for my 32 cal revolvers. Just because, just to have something for them. I have a bit of 32 HR mag and 327 but not much. You never know when the last zombie comes over the ridge. 250 rounds should keep me happy.

    I used to shoot Fiocchi 32 SW Long FMJ in matches as an outlaw revolver but used that all up before the plague.

    You dont reload at all?

    If not, do you still have the 32 S&W long brass?

    Don't reload and I gave the old brass to a reloader friend awhile ago. Sorry.

    IIRC, the wadcutters were the hottest .32 S&W Long ammo available, at least in Europe. They needed some oomph in order to function in Walther GSPs and such. Not sure if US-produced ammo followed suit.

    SAAMI specs on the US ammo keeps the pressure pretty low due to all the break action, pot metal guns chambered in .32 S&W Long.

    I used to reload and even have a set of .32 dies, but realistically, I'm not going to set my press up again anytime soon. Do you need some .32 S&W long brass? I have a little I'd be happy to send your way. If the boxes in my empty brass crate are full, it looks like I have ~300 brass.

    If Malamute passes, I'll gladly pay you market rate for them (10 cents each, around here, plus shipping).

    Never hurts to ask. And in the current supply situation, even brass isnt as easy to find.


    Pangloss was kind enough to help me out with a bit of brass. Im probably fixed for brass for as much 32 shooting as Ill ever do.
