agree with CARGUY... you can buy a set of Lee dies for $25-$30.00 & that will get you going... ( you can use the same dies, usually, for 32 S&W short & long, & 32 H&R Magnum... if the dies are long enough, probably even the new 327 magnum

I personally load ALOT of 32 S&W ( short ) & 38 S&W cartridges for my antique revolvers... I don't have my loading manuals close, so I don't know if there are any published loads for the 2 powders you have... but as CARGUY said Trailboss is a wonderful powder for these old cartridges... I use it pretty exclusively on older ( originally ) blackpowder cartridges
