Hi, I have a friend that has a 32 Remington and he ran out of shells and can not find any shells for this gun anywhere. Does anybody know where he can get some? Thanks for any info, Ryan
32 Remington?

Do you reload? If so then I believe that you can form cases from 30/30 brass. It will be a couple of thousand short in the neck. I used to have a 32 Winchester Special, I believe that they are the same round but I am away from my reference books.

Another case of internet guessing. Wrong.
.32 Remington is a rimless cartridge not interchangeable with .32 Winchester Special. A determined and well equipped handloader can make it out of .32 Special (or .30-30) with a lathe and form die set.
The only source for ammunition I can think of is a custom loader at rather high price. Quality Cartridge is one.

I've been known to be wrong, but I think I remember the 35 Rem and the 32 Rem share the same basic case.

Another internet guess. Wrong, too.
.32 Remington brass (Also .25 and .30) has a casehead diameter of .422" and is 2.05" long whilst .35 Remington is .460" and 1.92".
Look it up.
The .32 Rem brass at Midway is of Quality Cartridge brand.
The .30 Remington was the last to be dropped from factory production but is no longer on the Remington Express list.

try the Old Western Scrounger
I won't be as crabby as Jim...
I've got a Remington Model 8 in .32 Remington, and shoot it quite often. Why shouldn't I, she's gorgeous:
I lucked out and over the years have found about 500 pieces of brass for the old girl, and recently found even more on e-Bay.
The .25 Remington, .30 Remington, and .32 Remington all have the same parent dimensions in case head diameter, length, etc.
The .35 Remington is a totally separate beast.
I've crafted .32 Remington brass from .30 Remington brass, it's as easy as just running it through the dies, expanding the neck to .32 caliber.
I've also made .32 Remington brass from both .30-30 Winchester and .32 Winchester Special brass, but I had to turn the rim off and deepen the extractor groove in a lathe. It's a labor of love.
Remington only tools up for oddball cartridge brass every so many years. However, one's chances of seeing another batch of .30 Remington brass may be better, because the .30 Remington is also the parent case for the new 6.8 SPC. As Remington tools up for the 6.8 SPC, they may very well kick out another batch of .30 Remington.
If you cannot wait until then, there are sources of NOS (new, old stock) .30 Remington out there you can reform into .32 Remington.
Huntington's lists the stuff for $26.80/100 pieces:

Buffalo Arms lists .30 Remington brass for $30.00/100

or, they'll reform the brass into .32 Remington for you, $65/100

Old Western Scrounger has been sold, and in moving from the West Coast to the East Coast, no longer offers the wide variety of loaded ammunition and odd brass it used to. The business is now owned by the same person who brought the Gibbs' line of bastardized Lee-Enfields assembled by barely-trained monkeys to the American consumer, namely, Val Forgett III. I don't expect great things to happen from the merger.

It was an educated guess, I knew either one or the other worked, not sure which and I admitted the answer wasn't guaranteed, besides it was too cold out there to go looking for my book.
