Cabalas had it, .32 S&W works also but accuracy is not as good.

Prvi Partisan tends to make it regularly, or they did when the surplus pistols hit the market. Try AIM surplus, they sell odd caliber stuff and so try to stock it.
It's not unusual in my wanderings to find that it's cheaper to shoot loaded ammo for the brass than to buy virgin brass.

Graf & Sons has the brass you need. I picked up some for mine and it works much better than the 32-20 brass I was using, and much easier than converting .223!

I have one and have shot .32s out of it. From what i hear reloading nagant brass isent worth the investment as brass life is short.

One route to MUCH longer brass life is not place the over-done and exaggerated crimp on the case mouth that some factory loads feature. My method has been to seat the Lee 100 RN into Starline cases with the RN's point just a hair's breadth below the case mouth. I "crimp" the bullet in place by use of a 32 SWL sizer die with decap rod removed, and run the finished cartridge into that die to a point just ahead of bullet's shoulder position inside the case. Bullets don't creep forward, even when they are run "full-tilt" (1075 FPS).

I use a mix of tooling to reload 7.62 x 38R. I resize with a steel 30 Carbine sizer die, expand case mouths and seat bullets with 32-20 dies of those respective descriptions, and "crimp" with a tungsten-carbide 32 SWL/Magnum sizer die minus decap assembly.
