I would like to reload these, have a set of dies, problem is finding fmj bullets.
Located this in another forum:
The .32 ACP can be reloaded, but few bother to do so, as handling the teeny cases and bullets is a chore. (Maximum case length is only .68".) Most of those that do reload .32 ACP use ordinary .308" (.30 caliber) bullets, although the SAAMI specification calls for .311" bullets. According to the 26th edition of the Hodgdon Data Manual 2.2 grains of HP38 can drive a 71 grain jacketed bullet to a MV of 821 fps, and 2.5 grains of HP38 can drive the same bullet to a MV of 860 fps. These loads were chronographed in a 3.75" barrel.
I have .30 110g fmj bullets, use reddot exclusively, will be shooting them in a Walther PP and a Mod 1922 Browning. Any load data for this available?
Thanks
