32acp Question

[max]

I just looked at a new box of Winchester .32 and instead of roundnose it is more flatnose. Does anyone have any exp with this and does it feed ok?

I shoot that ammo regularly in my Kel Tec P32. Actually I use it exclusively now because they remind me of the old Colt New Police loadings. Not sure it offers any advantage but it does have a larger meplat area, so it might be a little better than a RN bullet.

I don't have the new Winchester stuff, but I've been shooting up a large supply of FN mfg 32acp that has the same bullet shape,,slight flat nose. The only pistol I've run accross so far in the last 10 years that refused it was a Star Model SI made in the late 40's.

Is this something new? Can't say I've seen it yet.

Let your gun tell you if it will feed that ammo (buy a box and hit the range).

I noticed the same thing in a recent purchase. feeds just fine in my Keltec.32.
