I thought when the .32 Magnum was introduced it was a sure fire winner for concealed carry especially for ladies. Less recoil, better bullet performance, one additional round (two in C.A. The Professional).

Nov 20, 2024 · But, the 32 magnum cylinders fit the newer magnum J frames 38 or 357. Unfortunately, it seems to be hard to find a steel magnum frame. I want a steel J frame 327 magnum, without paying a couple grand The pinto is a 642 with a 32 H&R cylinder and a regular J frame 32 barrel. I dumped the lock shortly after this picture. The bottom one is a 431PD

Sep 19, 2010 · The downfall of the .32 Magnum is that it is chambered in firearms the size of J-frames. Why buy a .32 Magnum in a J-frame when you can get a .38 or .357? The Ruger Single-six in that caliber was a neat, albeit short lived little piece designed for small game, targets and such.. If a sub J-framed, 5-shot pocket snubbie was made- that'd be the ...

Apr 8, 2013 · The .32 H&R Mag is, in short, a lengthened .32 S&W Long case loaded to higher pressures. Sort of like the relationship between the .44 Special and .44 Magnum or .38 Special and .357 Magnum. You can shoot the shorter S&W Long cartridges in a .32 H&R Mag revolver, but if the chambers are in spec, the H&R Magnum cartridges won't chamber fully in a ...

May 15, 2020 · Ammo, I used 2 different factory HR mag and one factory 32 SW long. Like .38’s and .357’s I didn’t shoot the short ones first then try to stick longer HR’s in the chambers. I wiped down the front of the cyl. Cleaned and inspected the extractor, wiped down the forcing cone and all that good stuff. Also had 2 or 3 light primer strikes.

Finally, the seating and crimping die must reach low enough to seat the bullet and crimp the mouth of the shortest cartridge you wish to load.

Feb 7, 2013 · In 1984 the .32 H&R Magnum was the next advancement for the straight-walled cartridge While excellent for PD and small game, but has often been viewed as "almost, but not quite enough" in the small-bore world. The arrival of the .327 Federal Magnum 2007 filled the role the .32 H&R Magnum should have.

Sep 16, 2023 · Shot my rechambered 30-1 again this morning. I made up 25 rounds of ,32 H&R Magnum for a test run. The bullet was a ,32 (.311) 100 grain cast lead SWC, Winchester SPP were used, and 10.3 grains of Lil Gun. This made for a fairly stout load for a two inch J Frame.

Dec 13, 2023 · 32 H&R Magnum: Range Report I’ve recently acquired a 4” model 16-4 chambered for the 32 Magnum and am looking for a load that will give me a good combination of accuracy and velocity. Perhaps not the most accurate or the highest velocity but the best combination of both.

Jan 25, 2011 · I just purchased at a gunshow, a 631 in 32 h&r mag. the product code on the box is 103664. The standard catalog for S&W says that there were only 190 of these made in 1990 with a 2" bbl and not engraved with "ladysmith". Is this true? any other info? thanks for your input.
