I want some hot .32 Magnum ammunition

[gunfan]

Bear in mind this is going to be antipersonnel ammunition fired in an "E" frame 632 Centennial "Airweight."

Any suggestions?

gunfan,
I got some BufaloBore 100 grn, Hard Cast Keith that
claims 1133fps out of a 3' SP101, and , I believe, 1125
from a 2" barrel. Whatever, it runs fine out of a S&W 431.
I'll be watching for more suggestions once this thread
percolates.

I agree the buffalo bore ammo is the fastest you can get.

I'm at a loss as to why everyone keeps saying Buffalo Bore, Buffalo Bore, Buffalo Bore! On their site they want over $30 for 20 rounds of .327 Federal Magnum ammo! Speer sells a 100gr and a 115gr GDHP round that is a very good ammo but it will cost you $1 a round. Don't get me wrong, I don't think any handgun round should cost $1/round but that's much better than over $1.50/round! Add to that the Speer 100gr GDHP round seems to be delivering more velocity than the Buffalo Bore 100gr JHP round, what pay all that money?

When shooters stop thinking more velocity is everything and stop overpaying for that velocity we will all be better off...

Thanks, ArchAngelCD: Seeing as this revolver is chambered in .32 H&R Magnum it limits my options. I think that, as I may have mentioned once before, I'm not as interested in expansion as I am in penetration. The .32 H&R Magnum (in short-barreled handguns) will be best served by a LSWC hard cast bullet.

georgia arms and reeds ammo both have decent 32 H&R self defense rounds but both are out of stock.

Midway has Hornady 80gr FTX 1150fps 235 ft/lb Eg 25@ $21

At those prices you might want to reload?
400 90gr wc at $30 and
100 85gr Jhp at $17

Unique ?

Good luck

It still won't be too hot. There are a lot of marginal revolver out there chambered in 32 H&R, especially the ones made by H&R.
