I need reloading info for a Winchester 1905 in .32 self loading. I have found dies and brass along with a source for some old factory rounds. I guess reloading is the only reliable source for this ammo?

from the "Cartridges of the World" book by Frank Barnes(1965 copyright) comes the following loads

165 grain bullet , 12 grains of 2400 for 1,450 fps
165 grain bullet , 12.5 grains of 4227 for 1,440 fps

The 165 gr bullet with 12.5 grains of 4227 should duplicate the factory loading ballistics and pressures.

I recall a guy in southern Indiana years ago who made a swage die that reduced the base diameter of .30 carbine brass to .32 WSL. The rims were still a little small but usually worked ok. He had good success with it.

Those old Winchesters in .32, .35 & .351 were fun to shoot.

you might try the "Old Western Scrounger" for ammo

32 WSL can be made from 32-20 brass. can use 32-20 sizer die reamed out to proper specs , hornady make a .321 diameter RN 32 cal bullet of 170 gr. just drop powder charges from 165 gr data and work up. love my grandad's 1905 32WSL which I inherited when he passed away. I love that rifle, as I loved him. I tried to make brass from 30 M1 brass, too much work:
