Hammer1 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) A longtime friend of mine has a large number of 32 caliber pistols. All the variations of S&W ranging from I-frames, J-frames, and K-frames... Break-open revolvers... Colt SAA... European pocket autos and target autos... Etc. He has... 32 Colt 32 S&W 32 S&W Long 32 H&R 327 Federal Magnum 32-20 32 ACP Etc Even has several 32 rimfire pistols. He loads everything on a single-stage Lyman press and either weighs all his powder charges or throws them with a B&M powder measure. He has dozens of single-cavity molds for 32 caliber bullets and visually inspects and weighs every bullet culling at least a quarter of each batch as not good enough. Other than a commercial loader... Does anyone load 32 on a Dillon 1050 ? . Edited May 9, 2015 by Hammer1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I don't mess with 32 but does your friend reload his 32 rimfire? Would be curious what priming compound recipe he is using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brassaholic13 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I can't even imagine doing .32 on a 1050. .380 will barely feed correctly in the case shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer1 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 He does not reload the 32 rimfire brass as rimfire cartridges. But uses the fired 32 rimfire brass as jackets for swaging bullets. It is very difficult to come by and getting harder all the time, but I once found him some factory 32 Long Rimfire for a rolling block Remington rifle he had.

dillon Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 At least a few customers load 32s on the 1050 machines. Primarily 32 S&W Long with wadcutter bullets for ISU Centerfire, as well as cowboy action shooters loading either 32 H&R Magnum or 32 S&W Long. We don't sell many 32 ACP conversions, mostly those go to Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
