Um.... What 32 calliber cartridge are you loading.. ?? If it is a handgun round, or 8mm Mauser it could make a big differrence in the process, equipment, and such.. KnowwhatImean.... ??
Hi Tim, I’m focused on .32 S&W Long handgun loads, not rifle rounds. In my testing, I’ve seen that flat-based bullets seem to seat a lot cleaner, while some bevel-based ones take a bit more fuss to get lined up just right. So I’m wondering if anyone has discovered a particular style or brand that goes in smoothly without needing a lot of prep. I’m not after anything special, just something consistent and practical for the range.
Have you had more success with wadcutters or the classic round-nose designs in your .32 setups?

I’m keeping it simple when it comes to handguns, just trying to get some consistent .32 S&W Long loads that don’t require too much fuss at the bench.I’ve noticed that the flat-based bullets are seating a lot cleaner for me while the bevel-based ones seem to need a little extra attention to get lined up just right. That’s why I’m wondering if anyone has had better luck with wadcutters vs round-nose designs in this caliber. I’m not looking for anything fancy, just something practical to make my range time smoother.
