FWIW.... a rechamber isn't all that bad.

No, you won't be able to shoot factory .32-20 in it and expect any accuracy. The bore can range from .312 up through .323? (or is it .332? I don't remember.) Mine is .318-.319" So you're going to be casting funny heel based outside lubed bullets and sizing them to an odd size and loading them in reformed brass, with incorrect make-due dies anyway....

I use Buffalo Arms reformed .32-20 brass (thinned rim and cut down). RCBS mold, Lee push through size die.
A universal de-prime die, neck size with a .32H&R die, and crimp with a modified Lee factory crimp die.
Lube by hand, then coat the the bullet with Rooster Jacket.


It would be a lot easier to neck a .32-20 case up to .30-whatever and stick in a normal bullet. :-)


I know, I know.... I didn't want that either. lmao

Like my paper patching, it was learning an art and science. Lots of work that was fun and I was proud of it. Then one day it wasn't fun, it was just work and no wonder I don't shoot this or that gun much anymore. :-D
