Source of .32 Colt Brass?

[jeffreyguy]

Does anyone know where I can get any 32 colt brass, long or short (not colt new police) in Canada or somewhere that can ship here? I've spent a couple weeks looking for some but all I can find is in the us and they cant export without a permit.

If 32 S&W will work several vendors here should be able to get Starline brass for you.
Rustywoods or Mystic Precision or

32 smith an wesson will not work because it has a larger outside diameter
. The colt cartridge uses a heeled bullet and the smoth and weeson a conventionally seated one

.32 Short Colt is essentially a center fire version of the .32 Rimfire Short.

If you are looking for it to make 32 rimfire, Its kind of hooky, even with a lathe the rims fall off. If you have a 32 colt right on. New 32 colt brass or cartridges never come to Canada as there is no mark, it is even hard to find in the states. I have heard that Winchester does runs vary rarely. The best place to find it is at the gun shows, singles can be found for a buck a piece, boxes range from 65-100.

I get it now. Didn't realize they were that different but it makes sense if they were a heeled bullet.

According to Handloader's Manual of Cartridge Conversions the head diameter is 0.014 smaller than the 32 S&W.

Going to be a little tough to source those I suspect.
