I suspect that some lots of the S&B .32 NP ammo may have crimping issues. I bought two boxes last year from J&G Sales, and both boxes have given me problems with bullets jumping crimp. In the larger guns is isn't a functional issue, but I suspect that it has to impact accuracy and velocity. When fired from a Colt Pocket Positive or an I-frame Terrier however, the jump is so bad that it will bind up the gun after 2-3 rounds are fired. The bullets can then be 'snapped' back into place with finger pressure and then fired normally. This was disconcerting to be because it is the first time that I have ever had this problem with factory ammo in any of my guns.
