.32 S&W short

[aviator]

I am toying with the idea of reloading some S&W short and wondering if anyone has a die set they might no longer be using? I suspect that if a die set were available from a manufacturer for this cartridge it would be GOD awful expensive. Also, I wonder about a bullet mold for the 90 grain .32 bullet. It might be fun to venture into making my own bullets for this. Any inputs would be appreciated and likely quite interesting.

Midway has a Lee set available.

I have a 32ACP or 7.65Mauser pistol die set, if that is any help. I also have some 90 grain jacketed bullets.

I reload 32 SW, 32 SW Long and 32 H&R Magnum in the same 32 H&R Magnum die.

Semi off topic: will a .327 federal mag revolver shoot 32 s&w and .32 H&R mag?

Yes. It will shoot .32 S&W Long, too.

If I remember right, it will fire 32 ACP too since it is a semi-rimmed case. They may not extract. I will have to check my 32 H&R Magnum if they catch the extractor.

All interesting responses. I had no idea a lee die set might be available and at that reasonable price. As an afterthought (as most of my thoughts seem to be) I had to check and see what I needed for a shellplate for my 550B and sure enough, it is a "D" plate, which I don't have. I have been thinking for some time now that a single stage press might be handy and I could justify offsetting the price of a single stage press a little based on what the Dillon shellplate might be worth. Great inputs guys. Thanks.
