New to 32 (question)

[dobroman]

Got a older rossi 32 polished stainless for 100.00 and on barrel says s. sw. long ,so my question what is the best ammo for it..Seems like 32 ammo is a little hard to get as never see it...Please reply thanks

.32 S&W Long is not very common any more, but it can be found at a well stocked gun store or online 32 Long Ammo | Bulk .32 S&W Ammunition For Sale Cheap

Cheap 32 Smith and Wesson & 32 S&W Long Pistol Ammo for Sale Online at Discount Prices - Able Ammo

Save your empty cases, this could get hard to find. You might take up reloading it someday.

The two S&W cartridges are a hand loaders dream. They are easy and very inexpensive to load. A cast lead bullet in the weight range of 85 gr. +/- can be used for both cartridges, Bullseye or Trail Boss are my choices for both. Factory ammunition can run over 20$ a box sometimes less, shop around, buy in large quantities and save your fired cases. Great cartridges and a very good starter cartridge for beginner revolver shooters. Have fun with the little gun and Good shooting!!!

I am not really a new shooter but am to this caliber,got because it looked good and was cheap...I thanks for you comments and will do a little looking around for some ammo..On the barrel it has s.sw.long,does this stand for more than one type of ammo or just the sw.long??

I go to gun shows to stock up on harder to find calibers like .32 Long. Georgia Arms makes a good HP self
defense load in .32 Long. I would check out their website.

You can use 32 S&W and 32 S&W Long. The 32 S&W is usually loaded with an 85 grain bullet, the Long is usually loaded with a 98 grain bullet. There are other weights available, usually from overseas makers.

Fiocchi makes a 100gr LWC that is affordable
and very accurate, and is easily available at least
in middle TN.
Box says 32 WAD CUTTER
LWC 100 gr GZG

shoots like a .22lr.........
I load and shoot .32H&R's but occasionally shoot the longs,
and they have no recoil that I can tell.

The Georgia Arms SD .32longs are JHP and a really nice little round.
[will look for some I have and take pic]

I load my .32H&R's with Berry's Plated HBWC and DEWC , both 83gr
all the time and am seriously impressed with EVERY aspect of the round.
Although you can't fire the H&R's in yours, you can load the 83gr plated Berry's
I use W231 powder for these.
Speaking of pics.......where are yours of this little .32 ??
