While on the more expensive side of the spectrum, Buffalo Bore makes a good Hardcast Flat Nose for the .32acp.
I bought a box of 20 sometime ago and through my Zastava it shot great.
At 1100fps, it’s a stout little round.
Wanted to thank everyone for the great information.
Pulled the plate thinking there would be 100 years of crud, evidently my father meticulously kept the revolver pristine.
It may only get to shoot a few wadcutter’s and it’s time to find a set of original grips.
My father recently passed away and in the course of cleaning out a few closets, this came into my possession.
My knowledge on S&W revolvers is limited and was trying to figure out what model it was? Or year produced.
My thanks in advance.
I own 2 from Military Heritage, while the barrel metal isn’t what I would call superb, it’s definitely safe.
Out of the trade gun(smoothbore.62), I’ve loaded 90 grains 2f and shot it at least 20 times and had no I’ll effect.
For the price, it’s a gun that’ll work, but it’s not exceptional quality.
Not on the list, but just brought home yesterday a Taurus Spectrum.
I had a Curve which I absolutely hated, but the Spectrum is a pleasant surprise for a .380.
I was lucky enough to find the HBWC and the Speer JSP on Gunbroker for a fairly decent price.

The JSP shoots 1200fps (great round for EDC).
I emailed Federal several times to ramp up factory ammo, but I haven’t seen much on the shelves.
For the price, it’s way to much fun.
mine started out with the crappy factory finish, with a little elbow grease and polishing, I got exactly what I want. And for $100.
I could give a bunch of reasons why I don’t like mine, but the 2 reasons I like it outweighs the con’s.
The weight keeps the recoil to nothing, and it’s extremely accurate.
Above all, just fun to shoot.
Spent Saturday out in the reloading shed making up some recipes for Sunday morning.
Made up 12 100grn Speer JSP with 11grn of lil Gun powder, magnum SPP.
For a .32, the recoil wasn’t bad, but you can definitely tell it was fired.
Muzzle blast was beyond loud!
The chrono read 1200fps on all...
A quick update on the history of the smoothbore.
@Ephraim Kibbey so kindly found the original maker, I decided to dig in and have the gun appraised.
The gun was made in 1858 by W.D.Carlton under contract from Springfield to take rifled barrels, rebore smooth, attach his breech and sell the...
