Another question for the 32 caliber aficionados.
A while back I met a young gent at the range. He had inherited and wanted to tryout his grandfather’s 32 Long Colt revolver. The story was his ancestor had carried said pistol during the Great War. He had found a half box of mixed HS (R-P & W-W) ammo locally, for the criminal price of $75.00 or $3 per round. He shot 20 rounds and gave me the empty brass and the remaining loaded rounds. The person that sold him the ammo said he could order more for $100 / box.
I did a search and apparently Buffalo Arms sell reloaded 32 Long Colt ammo (from “reformed cases”) for about $100 / box.
Does any other company sell 32 Long Colt brass? Starline doesn’t.
Is it possible to “reform” 32 Long Colt from 32 S&W Long brass. The only difference I can detect visually is the Colt case is slightly smaller diameter than the S&W. Other research indicates the LC doesn’t come close to the accuracy of the S&W-L.
I feel I’m being inexplicably sucked into the All Things 32 Vortex. Is there a cure.
