.32 Rimfire Roars back to life

Well maybe not roars. But it was definitely fun.

This is all in my .32 Steven's Favorite

After getting a .32 rimfire shot barrel up and running.

The next step was to get reload a rifle cartridge.

That was easier. Went to the range.

Shots through the chronograph were (1084, 1096, 1073, 1112, 1074, 1098)

Shooting at a target at 100ft I put five shots in a 4" circle.

Now to reload and work on the sights.

Thanks to all the contributors to the .32 rimfire threads on this forum.

My Dad had quite the collection of derringers, many of which were .32 rimfires. Maybe those will be my next project.

I have yet to play with reloading the .32 RF.
But I do load .22 RF.
But I just cant see shooting up the only box of .32 RF that I have to try it out.
So I made .22 LR chamber adapters and a barrel liner for my Leader.
Works great, and saves the box of ammo.
I can still restore my Leader to the .32 if I want to.

I made a .32 rimfire case on my lathe out of aluminum and use a .22 blank to fire off a charge of black.
Anawesome member here sent me some reformed cases that have been modified to take .22 blanks and some boolits. I have yet to try those out, but it was great getting a 100+ y.o. Rolling block barking again!
It hadn't been shot in over 50 years.
How about some pics?
Love the old stuff!!
