Gentlefolks... I am a long time fan of Single Action Revolvers, and have succumbed to the .327 bug: I own a Single 7, will soon be picking up an SP 101 3" & am strongly considering a David Clements' .327 Bearcat conversion.
While I have done some reloading in the past (.38/.357 and 9mm), economic reality is "forcing" me to restart my single stage presses.
MY questions: What brand / set of dies do you sages of the wheel gun recommend for reloading .32 SW, .32 Long, .32 HR MAGNUM & .327 FED MAGNUM? Can I use the same set of dies for all 4 rounds that my revolver fires?
While planning on buying a carbide resizing die for whichever set I choose, I would appreciate your input on what brand of dies to choose.
Thanks from a fellow single action devotee
S.A. Eddie |

I'm not 100% sure on the 32 S&W, but I know the other three (32 S&W Long, 32 H&R Mag and 327 Federal Magnum) are able to be loaded with the set of RCBS dies.
I generally always try to go with RCBS, just what I've always used and never had an issue or hiccup with them.

1st off... welcome to the forum... always nice ( for me ) to see someone who plays with 32 S&W... as someone who loads too many cartridges... I highly recommend a set of dies for each ( come on... you're talking custom guns here... they cost way more than a set of dies )
I really like screwing in a die set, & knowing they are already set up for the cartridge... no need to have to adjust the seating die, or crimp die ( if you do that separate ) each time you reload for that cartridge... I started doing this with my Hornet based wild cats, as the brass is so thin, it's easy to mess up, if the dies aren't set just right, but found the benefits for all cartridges, not having to set up the dies each time...
I don't have a 327, but do load for 32 S&W, & 32 H&R Magnum

When I decided to order 32 mag dies, the only brand available were the Redding 32 Long/32 H&R Mag dies. I have to say, they are the best pistol dies I own in any caliber. I have Lee, RCBS and Hornady dies and find they work well, but the Redding just seem to be more precisely made to me and cranking out quality ammo is easier because of it.
When I branched out to 327 Federal I wasn't sure if these dies would work for that caliber, too, but they do. I can't say if they work for 32 S&W as well.

I'm running a set of H&R dies. Haven't had the opportunity to load 32 S&W or S&W Long but should be doable for the long. WCs might be a challenge in the two S&W cartridges.

I usually set a set of dies up for a certian cartridge and bulet and don't change them, I have a set for the 327 and another set for the 32 S&W Long, same goes for the 357 Mag and the 38 Special also 44 Special and 44 Mag! More dies but less hassle!
