.32 Remington Ammo Details and Sellers?

The .32 Remington has been obsolete for many years. Custom resizing dies and handloading are the only way now I'm pretty sure .

Its an old one View attachment 963463 Dies are special order at $125. Brass is available. $2.10 each. Midwayusa.

What other cases can be made to work?

.32 special is a winchester rimmed rifle round. IIRC a .30-30 necked up.

Remington had some " rimless " rounds based off of I think one case.
.25, 30 and .32 Remington.

Other than the rim, I think the two cartridges have identical dimensions. They were designed to fit Remington's auto and pump rifles of the day and rimmed shells wouldn't fit.

I wonder if one could turn off the rim of 32. Spec. and cut an extraction groove?

If that doesn't work for you, resizing 30 Remington is your best bet. Both 32 Winchester Special and 30-30 are maybe possible I think but much more work.





Possible. Both 32 Winchester special and 30-30 have rims that would need to be removed and an extraction groove to be cut in. And both are 0.10" short.

Reed's ammunition appears to have some 32 Remington in stock. You'll have to contact them and confirm.

I have not done business with them recently. So I can't comment on their current reliability. I believe that I bought some 30 Remington brass from them 10 years ago. They delivered the brass as promised.

Also note, I bought brass. I can't comment on the quality of their loaded ammunition.

I see Buffalo Arms 32 Remington as in stock but not at $46/20. It is $54.89/20 but it is round nosed.

32 Remington Loaded Ammunition 170 Grain Jacketed Round Nose Bullets Box of 20 - Buffalo Arms

This is currently loaded ammunition for 32 Remington chambered rifles. This ammunition is loaded with our 170 grain round nose bullet (#321170) and uses our reformed brass (#32REM). 2,000fps.

How much will you actually need? If it's just a few rounds for grits and shins, just be patient.
Otherwise, think about reloading.
This isn't a caliber that's ever been of interest to Cowboy Action Shooters?

My very basic Lee Loader kit for .30-30 Winchester is also labelled for .30 Remington.
I suspect the .32 Remington is simplya rimless version of the .32 Special (Winchester) rifle cartridge.

Ok, so i did see a forum post that's mentioned similar to your statements.
The .32 Remington is rimless, and the .32 Winchester Special is a rimmed round. Makes it a little easier i guess



Looks like Buffalo Arms is out of stock of that round. Plus the rounds are flat nosed, so they won't work in Remington 14* rifles? I'm not sure which one my dad has, so that takes this round out of the running.
The flat-nosed vs round-nosed is good to know though.

Can anyone else confirm the flat-nosed vs round-nosed differences and for what guns?

Try old western scrounger they carry a lot of obsolete ammo but can be hit or miss. If you can find any 30 remington brass you can neck it up. I have a rem 14 in 30 remington and I can tell you don’t use flat nose or flex tip bullets. They can jam and are a bear to get out. Try the remington owners forum for great information on these fine old rifles.

Anybody else have suggestions on places that still sell .32 Remington and are in stock?

You can buy brass from Quality Cartridge. I get my Mannlicher 9x56 brass from them. It is not cheap but is good quality brass. They do carry 32 remington brass.

I came across two boxes of factory ammo today and found this thread. Let me know if you still have a desire to obtain some.

You CAN use either ROUND NOSE or FLAT NOSE bullets in the .32 Remington.
The 14 and 141 have a helical section of magazine tube that keeps the bullet tips from contacting the primer of the cartridge in front of another. An ingenious design!

You can use .30 Remington cases (non rimmed) which are rimless (but do have an extractor groove) to reload .32 Remington ammo, running the case into the sizer die over the neck expander plug will open the case mouth up to .32.

You can use the .32 Winchester sizer dies to load ammo. Lee has made .32 Win dies so they should be available. You will need a .30 Remington case holder, but it’s the same as for the 6.8SPC which was based on the .30Remington. Likewise the 10mm Auto!
Hawk Bullet Co, can custom make you some round nose bullets of .321” and appropriately thick jackets to optimize performance to the .32Remington. Again not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Even reloaded ammo won’t be cheap unless you cast the bullets yourself but BETTER AMMO than original factory is definitely possible! Hornady also lists the .321” FTX bullet in stock. With LVR powder it ought to be a performer.

The .32 REM like the .32 Win is marginally better than the .30/30 and .30Rem but didn’t remain in the market.
The .35Rem is a completely different case being approximately .015” larger in diameter at the case head.
My personal opinion is that the .35Rem is another level of performance above the .30/30 or .32’s.
But, I’ll admit personal bias towards the .35Rem. It just kills mo-better than the lil .30’s in my experience.
Though with the right bullets, the .30/30, and .32’s are no slouches.
