.32 H&R Magnum data

[CCT125US]

With the introductuon of the new S&W 432UC / 632UC, there has been renewed interest and excitement around .32 H&R Magnum.

This can act as a placeholder for reloading info and musings on the cartridge.

Pearce is always a good place to start for revolver information. I'm especially curious about muzzle blast.

Thanks. I’ve been planning on researching appropriate powders, especially since one of the local shops said to expect significant price increases on powders soon. I have Unique and 231 on hand, so I’ll probably start with those

I had the opportunity to chrono some factory 32 S&W Long from a 4 inch I-Frame.

32 S&W Long Magtech 98 LWC Ave: 719 fps 6 shots

32 S&W Long Sellier & Bellot 100 grain LWC Ave: 674 fps 6 shots

This is 32 Long, not 32 H&R Mag. The 12 shots went into a 6 inch group on a steel target at 25 yards. Standing, off hand and I could almost see the sights on that ancient revolver.

This is recent ammo ordered online.

A few years old now. I don't know which loads are / are not in production.

Currently have some @Lost River WC inbound, some Starline brass and RCBS dies that I horse traded for.

One minor observation. Starline does have 32 H&R brass in stock right now but it's likely to dwindle quickly once the pistols start getting into people hands. some of you might want to get some brass stockpiled.

Just a suggestion.

Here's what I'm looking at:

Cost / 1000rds
Powder: $10
Primers: $30
Brass: $30 for 100 cases x 5 loadings
Bullets: $100
Lost River: $100 = 100 loaded + 4 reloads

$270 / 1000 / $.27ea

You must have stock small pistol magnum primers DEEP before COVID. Prices I'm seeing now are closer to $100/1K...
