I recently purchased an antique revolver in .320
Finding 320/32 cold dies are next to impossible especially at a decent price.
Just wondering if I can use any other more common die to seat and crimp some ammo?
I have a bunch of old dud rounds I want to pull down and reload with new powder and primer so I don't need a sizing die just yet.
 
Is this the 320 bulldog ? Its similar to the 32 short colt I believe. Dies here ht tps://www.hc-collection.com/dies-and-tools-reloading-set-320-bulldog-c2x2382354

I once had a Webley revolver in ".320 Revolver " & shot .32 Short Colt in it many times.
The book , "Cartridges of the World" 1st. edition ( 1965) on page 155 shows this .320 & says
to reload with same data as .32 short colt.
 
From Hodgdon BP manual #1 .320 revolver/80gr lead/6gr-FFG/550fps
I wouldn't use .32 Short Colt data as they recommend 9gr of FFG for 700fps same bullet
 
Tried .32 short colt in my newly acquired Belgian revolver, found out its a .320 rim fire, will have some short colt ammo up for sale soon, then buying HLEBooks reloading tools...
