I see the logic of your plans, wrangler5. The dies are not a problem... they can be adjusted up or down as needed. But if you keep the hot loadings in longer cases only, you'll protect your older gun(s) from having the stronger loadings slipped in by accident. I've gone so far as to set up a dedicated 32 S&W Long loader as well as one for 327 Fed Mag. I load very few 32 H&Rs, so I can easily tell with a quick glance what it is that I'm picking up. If I were going to keep the Model 30-1 that I gave my niece, it would be a good candidate for reaming from L to H&R, but my I-frame snub I use for EDC, while probably strong enough, would probably be too short in the cylinder dimension.

I did have my recreation of a Model 16-3 chambered in the original 32 S&W Long because I wanted it to be as close to original as possible. It's not intended for hot rodding anyway.
