A little while back I bought the last .32 Colt brass he had, with hopes to get my mitts on some more after he moved and got set up again, after the first of the year. I know I'm jumping on this a day or two early.

I can't find him! I've lost his e-mail addy and his website has been abandoned. Anyone know how to get in touch with him?

All else fails, you should be able to make .32 Colt brass from .25-20 Stevens (aka .25-20 Single Shot, not the same as .25 WCF). Not the easy way, but it will work (and I gather .25-20 Stevens is available, at least sporadically).

Just got an email from Jack. His ad was still up on GunBroker. He'll be running again soon, he says.

I googled reloading suppliers untill I found one with some Winchester 32 short colt brass,I forget who. I found some boxes of recently made 32 short colt Winchester one of which I bought for almost 50 bucks .

I haven't done it, but the case head and rim dimensions are almost identical; you should be able to rough trim, expand to remove taper, size in the .32 Colt die, final trim and chamfer, and load. Any residual taper behind the expanded portion will fire form out.

That said, I don't know that .25-20 Stevens cases are any easier to find than .32 Colt...
