I have an old Iver Johnson 32 S&W top break that I need to get some reloading supplies for. Looking for dies, brass, and etc. Thank you for your help.

Went through that process myself a while back, but finally just bought a new set of Lee dies even though I'm not much of a Lee fan.

I never see a set of dies marked 32s&w short.
My dies are marked 32 s&w, and will load both.
And I think you will find you'r Iver Johnson will chamber a 32 s&w long, just load it down to you'r liking.
Good luck finding 32 s&w short brass.

.32 S&W is the official name and is the same as .32 "short". If the OP has a .32 S&W revolver it should not allow a .32 Long to chamber, similar to how you cannot chamber a .357 round in a .38 Special cylinder. If it DOES somehow fit he should definitely not try to shoot the longer cartridge in a gun not designed for it.

Most guns chambered in 32 s&w will somehow chamber 32 s&w longs, that's my point. If loaded down to suited pressure, how long the brass is don't matter much
