.32 Remington reloading

[Quietguns00]

I’m new to the group, I have a 1918 Remington model 14 carbine in .32 rem, searching for a set of rcbs reloading dies and shell holder.

I'm not sure that RCBS is still manufacturing dies in .32 Rem, you might contact them direct to confirm. If they are making and selling then you should be able to buy direct, or they might be able to tell you where the last shipment was sent. Online auction sites are a choice on the used market.

Probably a little late for this post but you see .32 Remington Dies on Ebay from time to time and even on Gunbroker. I'm pretty confident that Redding still makes them.

Use only round nose bullets and both .323 (8MM) and .321 work, my preference is the 8MM. Find an old loading manual for the 70's or 80's (again on Ebay) and use the loads suggested for the .32 Winchester Special......................and always use a factory crimp die, set your dies using an old factory round.

Any intel for case length trimming? Not sure if I’ll be able to find a .32 REM case length gauge and holder.

The 1959 Speer loading manual shows the "32 Remington rimless" case length at 2.050 hope that helps

I’m aware of the length, but I’ll need a case length gauge and holder to put the brass on my trimmer. That’s where I’m stuck. Because they make caliber specific holders and length gauge that goes into the center of the case while trimming.

Years ago I got in contact with Lee Reloading via messaging and wanted a 222 Rem mag length gauge like you described and they made me one at a reasonable price. There was a wait but it might be an answer to your problem

My dies are C&H in the 7/8" dies but I have a factory Lyman 310 set in .32 Remington and it used the same dies as they used for the .32 Winchester special with a different priming chamber that was specific to the .25,.30 and .32 Remington Automatic cases. They got away with it because the 310 tool only neck sizes. They had a separate die that you either pushed the case in with a vise or pounded it in and out with a mallet and rod to full length size the case. Link below for all the dies you need. Shell holder in RCBS is a #19 or a #12 in Hornady. Lee is an R21 . Midsouth has the shell holders also.
