Is it my imagination...

...or is there a shortage of .32 H&R mag ammo? I was all excited because I found a nice SS to buy, but none of my local shops have ammo. I understand that reloading is the best route to go, but even the brass seems to be in short supply. Have I bought into a dying/dead caliber that will forever be hard to find ammo for?

No worries, just have it bored out to 327 federal, it's a brand new cartridge so plenty of brass should be available...... oh wait nevermind :roll:

I sure hope not. I have one on order coming in this week. My gun pimp has plenty.

All brass and loaded ammo is in short supply right now because of our new President's gun veiws.

It's a great (great) round. Shop around. As one poster said, everything's been in rediculously short supply for six to nine months, right down to .22 LR, but things are slowly starting to lighten up. That said, some places are buttheads about (not) carrying it and you'll never find it at Wallyworld. I don't know if they're backed up, but try Georgia Arms for a great 100 gr JHP.

Try finding .41 Magnum.

32 mag has always been hard to find. Get a press and start reloading, besides reloading is the only way to get the benefits of a 32mag.

I've had 480 Ruger brass on order from two different outfits for three months, and I've checked with every body I can find that sells brass, and still no luck.

The only thing to do is order 1000 rounds of brass from Midway (starline brass). You may have to wait to get it, but after that you should have a lifetime supply as you can reload it forever.

Why not buy it from starline? They pay shipping and last time I looked it was cheaper than Midway.

Here is a place that shows it in stock. They show Brass & Nickel Plated. Can buy 100/500/1000.

I'm with Jim on this.
Starline says, (I just looked) available 11-1-09 and you can order 20, 500, or 1000. Its all expensive now days so buy as much as you can.

Haven't seen any on the shelves in over a year, hereabouts. I've given up on the gun range -- we pretty much shot up what they had and they've been unable to restock since then. +1 on the reloading advice ...

 

[Profirefighter]

For plinking I shoot 32 S&W Long. Usually a tad cheaper, but it can be hard to find also. A couple of shops here in North Alabama seem to keep both in stock.

Blue Star came through with some nice shiny new brass (in quick order too I might add). Now I just need to find small pistol primers.....

Thanks for the suggestions, I am looking forward to loading for the little .32.
