Also sounds like a prime candidate for a suppressor to be added.

Looks like you guys may have been smoking some inappropriate plants! Seriously there are so many custom cartridges out there to play with. I keep the 6mm/257/6.5/7mm TCUs close by. Reeder's stuff warms my heart too. Something about off-the-shelf dies and published loading data...

Um, there's probably been more 32-20 load data published than all the TCU cartridges combined...

Um, there's probably been more 32-20 load data published than all the TCU cartridges combined... My 30 Reece came with it's own loading manual... If it didn't, I have no problem measuring case capacity and developing load data. It's part of the sport. But, like I've said before, there is a difference between handloading and reloading...

What do you plan on hunting with it?

We have a bountiful crop of annoying pests here. Armadillos, raccoon, opossum, wild hogs, beavers, etc.
May even take it on a varmint hunt and snipe some Jackrabbits with it.
I suppose even edible game like rabbit would be fair...

Beaver aren't super common here. But, I have a creek that runs across my land and two ponds in wooded areas that attract them.
Even the annoying turtles in my ponds are fair game.

What would be your ideal carbine for this round?

Probably a 21" tapered stainless from Match Grade Machine.
I'm not sure it's needed, but sure would be useful around the place.
It offers more versatility over the 327 Federal. Not only will it shoot a large array of 30 Caliber Bullets, but also any of the 32 Bullets can be pushed thru a .308/.309" sizer and used.

Do this family of 38/357 based .308/.311 hybrids neck down easy enough to be a simple one pass thing ? Or is there some cussin involved ? I've been debating a Reeder 300GNR from a Blackhawk carbine which is of course a much larger case . The 38/357 sounds much simpler & tidier.

Every cartridge you've mentioned requires one pass thru the sizer die. The 300 GNR requires trimming...

Thanks , I guess Reeder calls his a necked down 357 a 321GNR but not a lot of info out there.

The cartridge has a very, very short neck, so I only load jacketed or coated bullets in mine. The short neck doesn't play nice with a lube ring in my experience... UPDATE: Just measured the neck on my 321 GNR Ammo made from Winchester Brass. Neck measured .135" long. Great little cartridge for jacketed and coated bullets. Very comparable to a 300 Blackout in power. The rimmed case is very user friendly in single shots and revolvers...
