Can anyone help me find a diagram or dimensions for a .32 rimfire (or 32. colt)cartridge. I do not have any on hand to measure.

Thanks

32 colt is diffren't then 32 rimfire... What people do is they cut 32 acp brass by drilling out the back and useing 22 acorn blanks to fire it. The problem with it prevents some firearms from indexing because the rim is a little to fat at the back causeing issuses.

Here is a place that makes reloading stuff for old rimfires might want to ask them if they have the specs.

Yup - and .32 ACP is slightly too large in diameter to chamber in the RFs. .32 Colt works grrrreat

Incidentally , .32 ACP is also too large to fit in almost all the .320 centefires....
