I use mainly RCBS dies and what I found is that shooting jacketed bullets in 32 long and mag requires the 32 acp expander rather than the 32 long expander that opens the case deeply to accept full wadcutter bullets. Overexpansion is causing the problems you described not lack of sizing. If you don't plan on using wadcutters you can modify the .32 long expander to work like the 32 acp. You also may need to have the taper crimp die for the .32 acp in order to correctly crimp 60and 71 grain 32 acp bullets in the longer cases. you can always look for a used non carbide 32 acp set for the seater and expander die. The sizer die is the same for 32acp, long and mag. They simply use a different shell holder. I bought a couple of extra used sets of dies fairly cheaply. I ground down the roll crimp die from an old 70s rcbs set so I can correctly crimp 32 S&W and I use an ACP die set to load 32 acp bullets into long and mag cases. rc
