So as someone really enjoying the .32 caliber family I have started doing a bit of investigating into loading my own, and I haven't come across any .32 s&w short wadcutter loads.
Now I am curious, do they not exist because of case capacity being so low that a wadcutter takes up too much of that, thus not leaving enough for powder? Is it because .32 long wadcutters are just so popular that no one has ever thought to try .32 short wadcutters? Is it something I am just completely missing because I have such minimal experience with reloading?
Also if .32 s&w short wadcutters would work I can't help but wonder how small you could make a little 5 shot DA revolver specifically designed to shoot them. Aside from the vaguries of bigger than a NAA but smaller than a J frame.
