I have been starting high school races for a few years and have several empty .32 starter pistol brass cases. Are these the same as .32 S&W Short? Would they be the basis for light .32 loads?

What does the head-stamp say? And are they Boxer primed. (look inside the case and there should be one flash hole in the bottom), last is the length standard for 32 S&W (a loading manual will tell the trim to length. In the old days starter blanks were Black Powder, is your brass just a little dirty looking, or after some time is it absolutely filthy? If everything seems to be OK, go for it. Ivan

head stamp is W-W 32 S&W, single primer hole. They were black powder as the flash activates the timing equipment faster than sound. Rather heavy crimp for the paper wad over the powder. I thought I might get one of the simple Lee hand loaders and load up some for some small pistols I own.
