.32 SW Long reload Info Needed

Harris304 · October 19, 2006, 12:24 PM

I have recently been gifted a .32 SW Long H&R 733 4 ich barrel revolver. I live in MA where internet sales of ammo is prohibited so I can't take advanage of
deals offered on the net.

Currently I have a local gun shop order me Aquilla .32 at 9.99 for 50. I am considering reloading but need a source of cheaply cast .32 bullets. Don't think I would consider casting as i a disabilties that requires a considerate amount of my time in treatment. Called the gun shop yesterday to order more ammo and
he told me to try in a couple weeks as his distributor is out

Anybody want to share cheap sources/methods of reloading this calibre?

Thanks

Will your Masters allow you to order bullets?
Can you find powder and primers locally? (Hazmat shipping fees on ordering them will run up the cost considerably.)

Midway is a good source of reloading equipment.

You need a manual. Since Lee equipment is the least expensive, just as well get the Lee book at least to start.

A Lee Challenger press

The press includes a priming tool. You won't need the case lube for a straight pistol cartridge loaded with carbide dies.

Lee dies

The dieset includes a powder dipper and a charge table.

Bullets

The .313" - .314" bullets of 90-100 grains are correct. The 71 grain bullets are for .32 ACP, the heavier ones are for .32-20.

There are a lot of other gadgets and gimmicks that will speed and improve the operation but these will get you started.

Thanks for the sources. I have a local shop that has the powder, primer and bullets. His cost for bullets are too high. The Lee hand press and three set
die's are what I will be ordering from Midway.

Seen 1,000 bullets for about $45.00 with free freight (Barry's). Don't know
if I can improve upon this. I going to keep looking.
