    32 Special brass

    Just as a heads-up, Whittaker Guns has five bags of Winchester brand 32 Special brass in their warehouse clearance stuff. I saw it when I was there yesterday. 50 round bags for $10.99 each. I’m sure you can find their phone number on their website.

    You’re quite welcome. You don’t know how close a couple of those bags came to being low power plinking rounds for my 375 Win, but I defeated my inner hoarder and decided to let you guys know in case you actually needed them.

    I know, I searched it also as soon as the post came out.

    I believe there a few of us looking to increase our supply of 32 WS brass at a reasonable price.

    Speaking of cheap 32 spec. brass, I found 40 rounds of 30/30 brass someone hadn't policed up. Ran it thru my 32 dies and shot them with my standard load mixed with my 32 brass with no difference. I read this is a dumb thing to do, but worked for me.

    It's only dumb if someone loads and fires a 32 WS in 30 WCF if it is even possible to chamber. Otherwise going from 30-30 to 32 WS is fairly common. Just make sure you mark the headatamps to identify them as 32 WS.

    If anybody here needs and 30 luger brass Whittaker has nine (9) 100 count bags of it for $15.99/bag. Call and hit "2" for gun counter and ask for Cody O... he will fix you up! In addition to the 32 win spl brass I picked up 5 boxes of 325gr .500 S&W solid copper hollow points for $6.99/box of 20. Thanks again Elkins!!!

    Why would I mark the head stamps?

    To know and remind you it was 32 WS instead of 30 WCF.

    I try not to form brass from 1 caliber to another IF I have firearms for both calibers.
    I had to with 9X19 to 9X18 BUT I designated all nickel coated brass for the 9X18
    and 223 to 300 AAC is easy for even a blind man to spot (don't ask me what a blind man would be doing reloading )

    I forgot about that. They also had some new 357 Sig but I figured nobody buys that new they just buy bulk used. There were a couple of other oddball bags but I didn't remember what they were. I just remember the 32 because my dad always wanted a 32 special, and because I knew I could use it to make 375 plinkers.
