Ok gonna need some help with this just got my name on a 1944 32 win special lever action end of serial number was 777 so had to reserve it.
Where can I find a die set ?
If you load this round what are some powder, bullet, options
New to this caliber so looking for any info anyone would like to share.
No it can’t stay in the safe I use all my weapons or it’s not worth me keeping them [emoji23]
Thank you

$30
Didn't find a 3-die set
Also, in the Seattle area used .32Win Spl RCBS (and other) die sets are common.
Check eBay and GunBroker.com too.
thank you. I see they have cowboy and regular 2 die sets does it matter which one i get ? i see the cowboy set has a roll crimp would that be the way to go with it being lever action?
I would use the roll crimp for lever action.Quote:

I’ve had mine for 9 years and haven’t shot it yet. Speer and hornady both make a 170gr FP bullet that will be perfect for it. I have the dies brass and bullets for it. Now I just need some time.

I’m leaning towards a Redding cowboy die set and the Hornady bullets but got factory leverution Ammo for hunting with it this year so I’ll start loading next season for it. I do like it a lot more than a 30-30Quote:

I forgot that hornady made the leverevolution in 32 special. That should be great out of it. I bought both the hornady and Speer bullets for mine, I like options. I ended up with rcbs dies. I was always under the assumption that cowboy dies were the way to go if loading cast bullets, and to use the regular dies if you are going to shoot jacketed.

Opting for cowboy for the roll crimp with the lever action got a buddy who blew up his 30-30 on last round from tube bullet seated deeper with recoil and action so just trying a safe routeQuote:

I definitely understand that. I wonder what type of crimp the standard die utilizes. Whatever the type crimp it does, should be adequate, as long as it is done properly. I’ve never had a bullet set back in any of my lever guns, but my crimps are always on the heavy side. From what I understand about the cowboy dies is that they size the neck differently to accommodate lead bullets ( I could be wrong here, it has been ages since I’ve read up on this)Quote:

There is one for sale in the local armslist. Winchester 94 Wrangler $875. I like yours much better.

Now I feel like I got a really good deal mine was half that costQuote:

lol No Doubt! The guy selling it has a shop in town. This rifle has been there for 2-3 months. Partly because its an oddball cartridge* and partly because they are higher priced than any of our local shops, including River City Firearms, Kygunco, etc
*Oddball cartridges are half the fun of reloading, for me anyway. I enjoy it so much I bought a T/C Encore so I could get barrels in pretty much any cartridge past or present.
I use the lee FCD on my 32sp and use 165gr FTX bullets over leverevolution powder I don’t remember my exact charge of the top of my head. I think my sizing and seating dies are rcbs. Also uniform trim length is more critical with leverguns
