Rather than worrying about bullets and dies, look for brass. It’s hard to come by. I just got some from Mid South Saturday and was darn glad to get it. If you see some from a legitimate seller snap it up.
The above comment is correct.
Because of this I started working on a reforming experiment using a 357 Mag casing to 32-20. I got a good looking final product but still need -- final neck measurements for Outer Neck after expansion to 0.306" for a 0.308 bullet and then also Outer Neck after expansion to 0.311 for the 0.313 bullet. What is the outer diameter of anyone's finished 32-20 casing? What is the bullet diameter most people are using in their firearms? What is the Neck Inner Diameter of anyone's pistol chamber? SAAMI rifle chamber is listed as 0.3271. I cannot find SAAMI for a revolver chamber.
One thing to understand here is that ---
I do not own a 32-20 firearm at all. Three years ago after reading all the posting about the 32-20, I luckily got a mis-identified RCBS set for cheap. Then bought my Winchester molds from eBay, for cheap. Then got a Winchester reloading tool, for even cheaper. Then got a C/H die set that was for loading the modern 30-20 barrels (0.308 bullets).
All by sheer luck, I will admit.
With no easily available brass to practice reloading, I embarked on this reforming project. It is not for the 'faint of heart' reloader. Several dies, base and rim diameter thinning. I don't completely know if I still need to thin down the inner necks of these .357 conversions. Sometimes I feel like our own, '
ndnchf' member, with all his brass converting projects.
Still, Little Dalton all the luck in putting everything together and then shooting this little brother to our beloved 44/40 and 38/40.
