.32 gauge

[bangaway]

BPI lists .32 gauge loaded shells, empty brass, and wads but no loading equipment. Does anyone know about reloading this gauge? Has Lee made a loading set that used a hammer to load? Any input will be helpful and I appreciate your efforts.

I don't know of anyone ever making 32 guage reloading equipment in the United States.
Maybe in Europe, but I don't know.

Heres a web page about converting a MEC press to do it, if you just had too!

Do you have a gun?

I don't think Lee ever made a loader for 32 gauge. I know Fiocchi and Zolti in Italy make, or made, ammo for that size, so I'd guess it's not uncommon in Italy.

MEC, as I understand, doesn't catalog 32 gauge reloaders but will set one up under special order.

BPI carries components, and even ammo.

Somebody shoots them Midway has them on the shelf, it is a European shotgun mostly, just a bit smaller than the 28 gauge.

thank you re for the .32 link! My H&R single gun is going to fire Fiocchi soon. Should be fun. Bpi has slugs to load for it plus data. Did you guys know Win 86's were made as speial orders in .32 gauge? From Cartridges of the world. I never heard of this gun before. Thanks all for your input. Have fun and bangaway.

What gauge is the Four Hundred & Ten ?

 

[Dave McCracken]

The 410 is a caliber, not a gauge. It works out to about 67 gauge, though oft one hears it referred to as a 32 gauge.

and the .32 guage would throw well over a pound of lead per shell. The 32, well thats a lot smaller.

That would teach those pesky doves a lesson!

Pictures?

I do not know how to get pictures from phone or digital camera to computer then to thread; nor can I make thumbnail pics then they get larger with a click. Links is another thing I have no clue as to make. I appreciate peoples use of all these things because I can really see the usefullness of these data forms. My 32 gauge shotgun looks like a current H&R 20 gun but with 24 inch barrel. Come to think about it I do not remember ever looking for choke type on the barrel. I will post results of that later. Sorry to disappoint ever one with no pics. Have fun and bangaway.

Source for 32 gauge shotguns

I just thought that how I got my 32 gauge shotgun might enable others with the same yen to get one. My gun was used by veternaries to dart meds. into animals. It came with an appratus to hold syringes that shot from the gun when fired. This size dart has been replaced by a larger one thus mine was for sale. Maybe people can by the old 32 gauge guns from their veternaries. Just a thought. Have fun and bangaway. Do you think I should post this as a new thread?

That thing that goes in the chamber allows the shotgun to use darts to do various vet. doctor things to animals. Have fun and bangaway.

Yes & Yes ! But you should always have a smith look at any firearm you are unsure of.
