Confused About Seecamp .32 ACP Ammo?

[Ala Dan]

Greeting's All-

When the LW Seecamp .32 ACP was first introduced 'way back when,
the use of W-W SilverTips was the only ammo recommended by the
Seecamp factory. In examining paperwork that accompanies new guns
(one sheet in particular) denounces the use of such ammo, due to the
re-configuration of that particular round. Instead, the article goes on
to say that the factory might start recommending Federal Hydra-Shok
ammo for the little .32 ACP. So my question is, which ammo is correct
for this little gem; as I don't want to mislead anyone when attemting
to make a sale?

Late last year we were discussing this...nothing new to add on my part. Hope this helps.

Dan,I have a few boxes of the "original" Winc. Silvertips to use in my Seecamp.I am going to experiment with gold dots and others to see what really works.tom.

Many thanks to all who have replied (and tried) to come to some kind'a
conclusion to this baffled mystery. Also, thanks for the links to the old
threads concerning the use of proper ammo for the LWS-32.

Tom my friend- please be sure to post your findings, as you are
a valued contributor here at THR. You know, I'm glad I rekindled this
investigation; as I would hate to know someone needed one of Larry's
innovations in a life and death scenario, and it failed because of faulty
ammunition. Take Care~

Just went to Seacamps web site and he is saying use the Federals and is looking at gold dots

Here is Larry's current recommendation:

I am using both Federal HS and Gold Dots to see if one works better than the other. I think that going with what Seecamp recommends is the best course of action.

Many thanks fella's for the quick response's. Frosty my friend I think
you're right, we need to follow Larry's advice. Right now, I think I'm going
to push the 65 grain Federal Hydra-Shok's for this little gem.

Have a great day!

I have a few boxes of the old Silvertips, when they are gone I will experiment with the new Silvertips and the Gold-Dots.
