32 Winchester Special

[604Gil]

Haven't read any recent posts on this caliber. Seems to be a little more difficult to find here in the West Coast. Looks like CT stopped carrying them. I guess it will give me a chance to learn something new...reloading!

I am not sure how easy .321" diameter jacketed bullets are to find. Flat points are desirable, and I believe there is at least one major American bullet maker, that sells them in 170 grains.
I reload for 32 Win Special, but with cast bullets.
If jacketed bullets become too scarce, I might even consider swaging my own jacketed bullets, since I am already set up for making jacketed bullets in other calibers.

Win, Hornady, Federal all produce. Any shop should be able to bring it in.

Hornady makes a .321 flat nose 170 grain bullet for the .32 Winchester Special.

I use a mid-50's 94 carbine in .32WS for whitetail. I also have a 1918 94 rifle in .32WS. Old thing shoots like a dream. I shoot cast from them for target work.

I have a late 50's Model 94, it's shot the best groups I have ever done with open sights.

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party. Hornady makes bullets for the .32 in their Leverevolution line I suggest you look into. They're a neoprene tipped Spitzer round you can use in lever gun tube magazines without the risk usually associated with Spitzer, but all of the aerodynamic bonuses. If you are looking to load your own, they also sell the 165 gn projectiles as a FTX bullet.
Incidentally, the uncertain future of the .32 Winchester is what pushed me into reloading a few years ago. Not a common round, never has been popular, but it has it's roots in black powder, so it seems to survive.
