Met a guy at the gun range who was shooting a .32 H&R. He was shooting a short cartrige.
Are the .32 short and Long the same size or is the .32 short iszed like a .38 S&W and as different as a .38 S&W and a .38 Special?
Is one of the .32's based on an outside bullet size and the other sized to a barrel dimension?
Please forgive my description as I am not a handloader. I am just intrested in the .32 caliber for CAS shooting events
Thanks
