Great Lakes Brass?

[Wayne Smith]

Guy on Gunbroker advertizing 32 Long Great Lakes Brass. All I can find is Great Lakes remanufactured ammo, no 32 Long and don't make their own brass. Any idea what this is?

My guess would be it's the brass from the remanufacture people and is mixed head stamps.

That was gonna be my guess but they don't list 32Long as an available caliber. Maybe they buy in bulk and sort and sell what they don't use??

That's what I am planning to do, but saw the other and wondered.

I would maybe think someone got a hair up and bought some longer brass and was cutting it down and re-selling it.
or made an order of 100-k or so pieces and had their own head stamp put on the cases.

I wouldn't think there is that many people shooting the round but if starline is making brass for it there must be some demand.
it took them forever to make 38-55 and 45-70 brass and we know those rounds gets shot.

IIRC? they got a bunch of it in at the LGS, it's all new StarLine brass.

I believe the .32 S&W Long is chambered in some high end target semi's. Walther, Pardini etc
