If at all possible you need to reload in order to really benefit from shooting 32 H&R.With that said I load 32 H&R for my Ruger so I load the round pretty stout.As for lead,I shoot 115 grain bullets in mine produced by Tenn Valley.Jessie makes a fine 115 grain bullet that sized to .313 shoots great in MY revolver using 296 powder.32H&R is a great round for a lot of fun and inexpensive loading as long as you reload for it!

The Sportsman's Guide online usually has a good selection of .32 H&R magnum and .32 S&W long ammo.

Default 32 mag

i only shoot lead in my guns, a s&w 631 and two ruger single actions, i cast my own with a heavy dose of acc number 9 powder. all the factory loadings are weak to be safe in the h&r guns.

Speaking of .32 H&R Magnum, how do you guys like shooting the round? Recoil?

Default 32 mag

it is one of my favorite rounds, easy to load for accurate mild recoil and loaded right has a pretty good punch.

The .32 H&R Mag is one my most favorite rounds to shoot and reload. Out of my M16-4 with a 6" barrel, to me there's not much of a difference between it and a .22 Mag out of my 4" M48.

It's a beast of a round when handloaded hot for my T/C Contender with a custom shop carbine length barrel.

I load cast SWC's from Penn Bullets.

For loaded ammo, I like the selection that Midway USA has, which includes Black Hills and Buffalo Bore.
