    Anyone know where I can find .32 Common or short ammo?

    I have a friend who is in need of 2 boxes, one each to pair with a pair of old owl head .32 H&R's. I have checked every site I know online, nothing. If you guys should come across them give me a holler please.

    I ended up buying all of the components and dies to make some to shoot out of my H&R. Ended up being cheaper.

    Are the H&R's chambered for the .32 S&W or the .32 Short Colt? There is a big difference.

    Mine is chambered for 32 S&W.

    In these tight times for virtually all kinds of ammo I find myself increasingly pleased with myself to be able to go down to the basement loading area and pull out the tools and components needed to make (or should I say “remake”) ammo for just about any gun I have ever owned or am likely to own. Nearly 50 years of accumulating stuff has left me with a full basement, but with nearly unlimited possibilities to keep supplied with whatever ammo I need. In fact, I think today would be a good day to load some 9mm ammo. Then maybe some more 32s in a couple of lengths. And then... but you get the idea!

    When things calm down Buffalo Arms used to carry it and probably will again.

    With a .32 H&R, you can shoot .32 S&W (short) and .32 S&W Long too. The ammo companies likely won't get around to making any until the ammo panic subsides,

    Maybe the OP could find an old Lyman or Ideal tong tool on-line with a bullet mold and load cartridges for cheap.
