Dies for 32 ACP, here is what I have... what else do I need?

[mattw]

I reload 30 or so different calibers... But, I just am venturing into 32 ACP. I have the following dies, no pills yet, but wonder what else I need...

The Hornady size die should be fine and the Lee Factory Crimp with the part number 32A,S&WL-F5 should work fine. But, I am not sure about the Hornady seater in this set. So, what do I need to complete the set? They were originally purchased for my 32 mags.

You can try all that, but I use a set specifically designated for 32 Auto. The 32 Auto, 7.65 MM. is closer to 30 caliber than 32. The Remington 71 Gr. FMJ/RN that I use for 32 Auto are .309 as are some commercial cast RN that I've had good service from. A set of Lee 32 Auto dies won't set you back much and you get the necessary shell holder as well. JMO

Loaded a large amount of .32 ACP a few months ago using all Lee dies. No problems.

Trying to seat a 71gr bullet in a 32ACP case with a seater designed for a 32 S&W Magnum may be possible if you crank that seater all the way down and then some more after that...

Buy a Lee Die Set for 32ACP. It won't break the bank and you'll have good ammo using it. Save those other dies for your 32 Mag. You'll have good ammo with the proper die sets for either.

i picked up a set of rcbs 32acp dies on ebay cheap had problem with expander plug putting a buldge in brass called rcbs and they sent a new one free of charge even though the dies were very old. now use them for 32sw with sanded down shell holder for 32 long and 32hr mag. have been on a leal 32 kick lately .they are a blast to shoot and cheap fun. loaded some 9mm the other day and thought i had cannon casings.
