I do have a Lyman M die so will have that on my workbench ready to use if needed. As anyone who loads .32-20's knows not only are the case necks a bit fragile but availability of brass has been spotty the last couple of years. I'll proceed with caution and make up a dummy round and make sure it chambers before I load the other 49 rounds with primers and powder.

I also know that case length is critical on the .32-20 as they can stretch quite a bit upon firing and resizing so I'll check them and trim as needed after sizing and before loading, seating and crimping.

Reloading small cases like the .32-20 really makes you appreciate loading for a .44 Special or .45 Colt !
