Very much enjoyed the posts regarding the loading of the .32 S&W Long. Brevity may be the soul of wit, but when it comes to discussions of this sort, detailed explanation is critical. Very much appreciate the time and effort taken to produce these posts.

Have read articles by some of the old time gun writers. In factory loadings, they found the round to be a useful small game/target round. With proper handloads, the .32 S&W Long was considered to be very effective for hunting small game and in appropriate pistols it was useable for SD. After all, a hotted up .32 S&W Long would certainly have more to offer than the .22 LR round in hunting small game. And in a modern J or K frame it would be useful for SD if loaded with proper SWC bullets. JMHO. Sincerely. brucev.
