Were the Lee Loaders ever offered in 32 S&W Long ? If so, anyone have one they would part with ? I am hunting either a Lee Loader or Lyman 310 Set...so far no luck...thank you...

If you can't find the Lee loader or the Lyman 310 in your caliber. You could do a Lee breechlock hand press http://leeprecision.com/breech-lock-hand-press.html and a set of dies http://leeprecision.com/3-die-set-32s-w-long.html .
They were offered in .32 S&W and .32 S&W Long/ .32 Colt New Police, among the 110 calibres on the list in my set. Some of those are pretty rare, including the .32 S&W Long, but they turn up on eBay occasionally, usually at prices many times the $9.95 they originally sold for. I wound up getting the regular Lee dies, which work for .32 S&W Short and .32 H&R Magnum, too, by adjusting how far they're screwed into the press.
Also since GCBurner found them on his list that means they "shouldn't" charge you a custom price to make you a brand new set even if they are not listed on the Lee site. I would give Lee a call and find out if nobody has a used one for sale or trade.

Yes I can be long winded. Yes I follow rabbit trails. Yes I admit when I am wrong. Your mileage may vary.
Keep your powder dry. Watch yer Top knot.

Yes there were "Short" 45 Colts! http://www.leverguns.com/articles/taylor/45_short_colt.htm
I found a used set on this forum. Try putting a WTB notice in the proper page here. Expect (as somebody already noted) to pay at least a couple of times what the original price was, but used it shouldn't be much more than new (current) retail and if you want one, it should be worth that to you.
