ThanksNatchez has 71 grain plated in stock.
Yeah, if you ever shot someone with it and they found out, they'd probably be really pissed! Just kidding. They were used by quite a few European militaries and police over the years, but it wouldn't be my first choice. They're fun little guns though. I went on a .32 kick awhile back and picked up a bunch of them.Since the subject of 32 ACP was brought up I am curious just how effective of a defense round it is.
Other than target practice what else is it good for?
I have an old Walther PP in 32 ACP but I have been hesitant to use it as a carry because those rounds look damn small.
Anybody know who has 32 acp reloading bullets in stock? And how about loading powder? Best place to buy in store, not online, near Demotte, IN
Yet again heavy for caliber bullets seem to get the job done.I load and shoot a fair amount of 32 ACP and it's abilities are more related to what is shooting it. During WW2 the OSS used cast 100 grain bullets on top of powerful charges in the Colt 1903. This I would consider top of the scale for these guns. I shoot a hard cast 90 grain Accurate RNFP on top of a stout charge of 231. It produces a very accurate and powerful cartridge in the Colt 1903 with modern recoil springs.

What kind of velocity did they achieve with the 100gr bullets?
