I am interested in making or getting my hands on some .32rf. Surely some one here knows how to make it happen! Please help.
 
THere is a place that sells reloadable 32rf brass, uses a small pistol primer. I forget the name dixa or something. Hopefully someone will chime in and let you know.
There is also this place CLICK HERE

I just picked up four boxes off the EE. 2 of 32RF short and 2 32RF long and the four boxes cost me $320 shipped.

I paid $100 for a box of 50 32RF a couple weeks ago.
 
I made 25 reloadable cases today. They work rine in both my 32 rf revolvers. Mine use a centered .22 rf acorn blank as a primer. Filled with bp and a round ball. $5.00 per reloadable case or trade???
 
Alrighty, how are you MAKING the ammo?

I turn a brass case in the lathe with a .020" rim that accepts a .22 acorn blank in place of a primer. Most 32 rimfire guns seem to have enough contact to fire the cartridge. I fill the case with FFG and seat a OOB round ball in the case mouth. I have fired my test cases 10 plus times each and they are still holding up just fine. These are basically just a canadian copy of the cases made by hc collections in france. (www.hc-collection.com)
I do however center my acorn blanks rather than offset them like the hc stuff. The HC stuff does not stay indexed in a revolver so it is an advantage to use the centered blank. There are no special tools needed to reload the cases. I will have pics in a day or two.
 
Why some ammo dealer dont import a case from south america is beyound me.
They would sell it in a few hrs by the time it was listed at $50 a box. I have sold lotsa 32 RF handguns and everyone the buyers want ammo.

If i could figger out a legal way to import that 32 RF south american ammo i would.
 
Epps tells me that their order of .32 rf ammo from Old Navy Arms (a few years ago now) was turned back by canada customs due to the lack of a headstamp on the ammo. They claim it's a safety issue and that someone could accidentally fire the wrong cartridge in the wrong firearm. I think it's more likely just BS and they didn't want .32 rf ammo on the canadian market. I mean no rimfire ammo of any sort is headstamped and it's never been an issue till now.... We need to find a canadian ammo company interested in producing it here.....
 
I contacted Navy Arms about new 32 rimfire ammo

Hello,
I have several boxes of Navy Arms 32 Long Rim-fire smokelss cartridges made by CBC in Brazil. I was wondering if you still currently import these cartridges? If not, do you plan on importing more in the future? They work perfectly and I would love some more.
Thank you

I checked out RTG and they sell collectable ammo. I am more interested in new production ammo. Seems they will be doing another run in the future of CBC made 32 rimfire. I would love to get my hands on more of this, might be worth a future group buy.

When making your own cases you want the 22 blank to sit about .005 - .010" proud so that you are not using up firing pin energy on the rim of the case it sits in. That usually means making the rim of the 32 shell thinner than factory.
