1794??? 1894, maybe!
OWS does not seem to have these .32 Long rimfires any more. Since Dangerous Dave retired, and Navy Arms acquired the name, their variety of old ammo seems to have gone south....

A little off topic, but good to see you eldequello!
It seems that 32 ammo is a little hard to come by, but it appears that Navy arms is still making it. You'll just have to find one of they're dealers that supplies it. Heres one that I found on the web: http://www.southernohiogun.com/ammo.htm

Can shoot up to 400 yards on my own property, with a nice hill for a backstop. But haven't got my reloading bench set up yet. That's the next task.

I'll just take a moment to echo jonnybravoo's comment, Eldeguello...A lot of us were concerned... hadn't heard anything from you in some time. Glad to hear you're doing well and back posting again. Don't scare us like that!!

RE: 32 LONG ???
I believe that there is a 32 short and a 32 long Colts. The 32 H&R magnum was spawned from them like the 45 schoffield 45 Colts 460 S&W. Both are BP center fires. The 32 is cartridge dia.not the bullet which is 312 I believe.
They also are pistol cartridges in this case a companion rifle.
