.32 S&W

[pmanton]

I am looking for some antique .32 S&W ammo to go with my .32 DA revolver.
When I search I can't get past the modern .32 ammo.
Can anyone give me an idea how to search?

Thanks.

Current production, not "Modern", .32 S&W ammunition is all perfectly acceptable to fire in any revolver chambered for that cartridge, regardless of top-break, solid-frame and any maker! There is no truth in the assumption (myth) that current production ammunition is more powerful that what was loaded when the cartridges were first introduced! This applies equally to any caliber originally introduced before 1900! The natural exception is ammunition designated as +P! For these cartridges there is no "modern" ammunition.

5 would be great. I'd also buy a full box if available. I try to match up some period ammo with my guns. I have WW2 9mm for my Luger and P-38, WW1 .45 for my S&W Model 1917 WW2 .45 for my 1911A1 Etc.

Thanks,

No idea how old your revolver is, but if the ammo has a WRA, WESTERN, or REM-UMC headstamp, it will be fairly old.

I was given some of that ammo in an identical box. I don't know when it was made but I chronographed some of it when I had two 1970s S&W .32s. As I recall, one had a 3" barrel and I think the other one was a 4". MV was in the mid 500 fps range. I wouldn't shoot at anything stouter than a beer can with that ammo as the the bullet might make a return trip toward the shooter. Handloads were much better.
