    stupid question for you: how many rounds fit in the magazine?
    Mine holds a total 14 32 Long Colts and 17 32 Short Colts in the tubular magazine.

    Out of stock at Buffalo Arms.
    Buffalo Arms replenishes their supplies fairly often so if they’re out of stock today usually it’s in stock within a month.

    That identified, the difference between the two vendors is minimal, Buffalo Arms uses Starline Brass and the last batch I got from Jack was PPU.

    I have found that after trimming, the Starline Brass is thicker at the case mouth than the PPU and what I have found is that the thicker Starline brass provides for a “tighter” grip on the heel base for a more consistent “pull” on the projectile upon firing providing better accuracy for me in my guns.

    YMMV.

    They do ! I have a 1892 Marlin and opened the chamber to 32 S&W long with a chucking reamer and trim my brass to .885” long and shoot a 100 gr, cast rn boolit and it feeds and shoots great. I load them very light something like 2.7 grs of powder and they hit a 100 yard steel easily.
    I fussed with making 32 long colt brass foe a while and have a heeled boolit mold but decided I wasn’t going to hurt the value of the rifle by making it shoot a easy to get round and glad I did.

    I'm surprised to hear that. I thought about one a time or two and held a .32 S&W up to the cut out in the tube but it didn't look to fit. Now you have me thinking. Not, a good thing........

    Neither 32 S&W Long nor 32 S&W short will drop into the magazine opening for either of my Marlin M92’s.

    The openings on mine would have to be opened up a bit to allow them to fall in.

    The openings could be altered if they will go in from the top.... I don't have one to check............

    A 32 S&W Long will enter the magazine on mine and feed to the chamber, which is as far as I took it as it still has the original chamber. For my rifle, it appears to be a workable mod.

    No!! The Philistines are the ammo makers who don't make a run of the "obsolete" ammo's every once in a while.

    A collet crimp die from Old West Bullet Molds is the cat's meow for crimping heel bullets

    YES! And they can make shell holders that are adjustable for slight case length differences.

    Yes indeed. I made an addition to mine that let's me use it for 32 Colt and 32 Ballard XL. So it is really versatile.
