.32-20 isn't as hard to find as many would have you believe. Locally it can be found at Gallenson's, Cabela's, and Sportsman's Warehouse just about anytime. If you don't have one of the large chains like Cabela's, etc. you might hace to mail order. Here are links to mail order houses with it in-stock when this was posted:
32-20 Winchester - Rifle - Ammo - Graf & Sons
.32-20 Win, Rifle Ammo, Ammunition - Natchez
And there are others.
It isn't hard to load for either. As long as you can't bang through the loading operations, take you're time and be careful it isn't any harder that any other caliber. I have been loading it for nearly 60 years, before the internet and everyone telling me it was so hard to load!
And it isn't loaded down! The cartridge began in ca. 1882 as a black powder cartridge and it is loaded to the same performance level it always has been, just with smokeless powders. The exception is the "Hi-Speed" 80 gr. high velocity jacketed hollow point. This version has not been produced since the 1960s so you are extremely unlikely to find any for sale except as collectors ammunition. And don't believe stories about "modern ammunition", there isn't any such thing, it is all loaded to black powder ballistic levels. Same about "Rifle" ammunition! .32-20 is and always has been a rifle cartridge, so many makers label it as such!
