That sounds like a good reference. I usually look individual cartridges up in Wikipedia.

.32 Long Colt - Wikipedia

In this case I didn't look it up prior to purchasing it, because it came as part of a "lot" of stuff that contained other items I wanted.

I hadn't got around to looking up the specs afterwards either since it was obvious that it wasn't the right cartridge for my 32 HE - I knew it wouldn't work and that was the main thing.

Thanks for posting the specs though - it is interesting info.
I have a copy of it in paperback and also on my Kindle. I really like his specs. for factory ammo back in the 30's. I have used it when loading 32 S&W Long for my fixed sight S&W HE's. From his specs I have been able to get them to shoot to point of aim.
