I was thinking of maybe picking up a revolver for this caliber, just because. I have .32 ACP dies already, can I use them for .32 S&W and .32 S&W long? from my brief research the .32 S&W cases would use the same shell holder as 30-30, so - trying to figure out if I could use what I already have or if I'd need new equipment if I went down this path.

It will work. Just make sure that the sizer doesn’t hit the top of the case before the shellholder taps the face of the die. It shouldn’t.... maybe if you were trying to load 327fm with them. When I still had a .327 I was loading 32acp, 32sw, 32swl, 32 H&R, and 327fm with the same set of dies. Now I don’t load longer than SWL, but still same dies. Mine are Lee and I think they are actually labeled as 32 acp/32 swl. The issue would normally be with having a long enough seater stem to load a shorter cartridge than what the die was made for. You don’t have that problem to worry about.

I agree, all you need is a propper shellholder.
