Last year I picked up a S&W M1903 Hand Ejector made around 1909. I got it for $125 because it had a rough nickel finish and was out of time. The timing issue was solved by detail-stripping the gun and removing a century worth of crud from the action. The cruddy nickel finish succumbed to abrasives and care, and I re-blued the gun. It's definitely a shooter, and after paying the price for one box of ammo I've ordered reloading dies.
It looks pretty straight forward to reload- I'll be searching up info on mid-range loads for target-shooting. The question I have is can these dies also be used for .32 S&W (short?) I've had great success with loading .38 S&W with .38 Special dies, so naturally I have to wonder if it will work for the smaller cartridge as well.
Also any random experience etc. would be welcome.
