32 S&W was a very popular single shot rifle cartridge in its day. Both the standard and long versions were basically center fire conversions of rimfire cartridges. Some rifles had reversible firing pins to shoot both. Minute of rabbit out to about 75 yards is what this 32 S&W would be good for with a good set of eyes.I have love for the .327 federal..in my opinion its a waaaaaay under rated cartridge ..many times I've been shooting steel with .357 and switch to .327..thats when I noticed how cool of a cartridge it is..just playing at the range..
I get all worked up and excited when I read all these post..and start mentally running off on some project that will eventually cost 1000$...when most of the best cartridge have already been standardized..
I also thought of a ruger 77- 44 or 77-357 reworked for 327 fed...for the life of me a can't understand why ruger who developed the cartridge doesn't offer it in a #1 sporter..327 fed..
That would be a hot one..
Think of how fun that would be..sitting there shooting 32sw, 32swL, 32h&r, 327 fed out of the same rifle..im not sure if you could push a 32 s&w through a rifle barrel...hahaha..
But ruger..please...pretty please..
RUGER #1 sporter .327 fed mag with the thingy on the barrel like the african..haha swivel band..
No plastic..the Ruger way..or a riger 77-327 wood stock
Forming dies, I'm not home till next week, I'll take a picture of the dies and post if I can remember.How are you guys managing to crunch these necks down so well..i was toasting brass left and right making 25-20 from 32-20
Its paper thin necks and annealing wasnt the answer.
To take a 30 carbine down to 20cal has gotta take some practice..and a bit of voodoo.
the 25-20 could use a little help..i bet you could catch a 25-20 in a calloused hand
well its not the weak..i wouldnt want shot with it..hahaha
But if youve ever sat at the reloading bench and loaded up a few hundred 25-20 cartridge you already know how fun they are..and when shooting the 25-20 it just feels like ( if only it was a little faster)..to take a 32-20 down to a 20-20..hahaha
Maybe it could run off a puff of trailboss and still zip along..
How many reloadings does your brass last for?I make .20 killer bee out of starline 32-20 and get Phenomenal Results
