    New box of bullets

    I finally got myself a box of 100 .321 diameter bullets for my .32 Special. I got the brass late last year after a long wait. Starline was busy with other popular calibers I guess.
    Now I can assemble some ammo to feed my Dad's old Winchester.

      I've got an old Colt .32 police positive. It shoots .32 long colt. Might as well be shooting gold bullets cuz that stuff is terribly expensive these days if you can find it.

          What does that like for powder? 3031, 4064?

              I'm going to try a classic load using IMR 4064.

              Excellent project SBE! Winchester Model 94? Big Loop lever or standard?

                    Nice! Love the .32 Win Special. Have 2 older Win 94s and a Marlin lever in the caliber. The one 94 is the prewar "Target model" with the peep sight. Ammo has been impossible, so I guess I'll have to reload, so I'll follow your progress. Once I get the reloading stuff out, there's going to be a list: .375 Win, .444 Marlin, .450 Marlin, .30-40 Krag, .300 Savage... damn

                        Winchesters . . . I always thought they were made by the Maytag company . . . sound like a washing machine as the action is worked . . . to say nothing about getting the hot brass in your face or down the front of your tee shirt . . .

                        May God bless,

                            They ARE kinda noisy- sounds as if there are a few extra screws in there

                            Mine doesn't sound like that, I have the action packed full of crater. The RR guys will know what that is.
