Well, in light of this discussion and my recent acquisition of a "32-20 Hand Ejector Model of 1905 4th change" I went on an Internet hunt for that caliber of ammunition. To no one's surprise I either found websites indicating that it was out of stock or websites that didn't even list it as a caliber in the inventory. Okay, no surprise and, THEN! - I found a box on a well known auction site. It is vintage ammunition, Remington-UMC identified as "REM-UMC 1911-1915 .32-20 Win. Original Box .32 Winchester Ammo" and the box says "Softpoint Smokeless". I'd have called it semi-wadcutter but maybe that term is from later on in the 20th century, I am uncertain. The lead tips of the bullets are white with age.
The price when I started bidding was very low but, interestingly, the shipping price was $26.00. But it was still under a dollar a round.
I was outbid but the bid was picayune as far as I was concerned so I bid again. That happened twice and today I got this notice:
So, now we have passed the dollar per round issue. I think I'm done but it was a nice try.
Here's the gun - we all love pictures:
