Does anyone have experience loading the S&W .32 Long? With the .327 Federal Magnum making a statement as a formidable self defense round, it makes sense to revisit the .32 Long as a good practice and plinking round. Most modern pistols chambered in S&W .32 Long are under utilized because of the watered down factory loads which are available. If you have loaded the .32 Long, tell me about your favorite recipe and result. Rumor has it that the venerable old round was once frequently loaded to produce 225+ ft lbs at the muzzle, well before the H&R .32 Magnum gave us those levels from commercial ammo.
