One needs a very Zen attitude to successfully reload a cartridge that seems to have been designed by an opium addict. So I just keep a couple of boxes of factory ammo on hand for Grandaddy's M&P. If I take it out to the range, I'll just replace the ammo used, and possibly trade the brass to a CAS type.Beaumontnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-37954508961027565322012-05-15T09:49:58.012-04:002012-05-15T09:49:58.012-04:0032-20 is said to be tricky to reload, brass at the...32-20 is said to be tricky to reload, brass at the case mouth being quite thin; but it could be worth it.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-56478570336909565042012-05-15T01:52:02.117-04:002012-05-15T01:52:02.117-04:00Lees precision has a set of dies for the 32-20, it...Lees precision has a set of dies for the 32-20, it's currently sold out. I check Factory sales where I get most of my reloading supplies but they don't stock the 32-20 dies. You can get a single stage reloading kit or a hand press kit from factory sales though and the dies from Lees Precision. It would run you about 65 with shipping I'd estimate. It's not that hard actually. My daughter and I just reloaded 150 rounds of .38 special the other day in about 2 hours using a Lee Loader and a mallet. They don't make a lee loader for the 32-20 though. You can ask if they have an old one in the stock room or check Fleebay for one.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15796886431754694105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-52354929610714181542012-05-14T16:24:06.191-04:002012-05-14T16:24:06.191-04:00Carteach0 had a good post on rat shot this weekend...Carteach0 had a good post on rat shot this weekend.

Also, the striker would sometimes protrude too far intothe "body" of the case making the strikes not deep enough to ignite the primer. I was lucky enough to find a spare hammer, whose nose I carefully stoned into a curve on all sides. You don't want sharp edges or the case will rupture. I kept a bunch of spent brass to test the hammer strike depth with until I got a firm and repeatable crimp. A gunsmith will also be able to reharden the striker so it will last for a long time.oghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07551049745184408924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-56761035763828148382012-05-14T12:14:03.184-04:002012-05-14T12:14:03.184-04:003-4 grains of Unique and a 100-110 gr cast bullet ...3-4 grains of Unique and a 100-110 gr cast bullet makes a pretty good .32-20 plinking load, suitable for even the oldest of the 1880-1890's revolvers.<br /><br />At $40 per box of loaded ammo you'd be money ahead after the second or third loading since you should already have the brass.B.S. philosopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991238092700083612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-72988665062641192872012-05-14T11:13:14.064-04:002012-05-14T11:13:14.064-04:00There is some good made 32-20 ammo and the prices ...There is some good made 32-20 ammo and the prices are down from what it was a few years ago. The cowboy action shooters love the low recoil of their chosen load. Take a look at the various brands of cowboy 32-20 ammo. Mostly or all lead bulleted loads, usually 50 to a box. I agree they are fun shooters. I have a S&W hand ejector which is spot on with most loads. Enjoy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
