After alot of searching ....................Handloader had an artical on the 32 Rem . After reading that I bought a #19 rcbs shell holder and a set of 32 Winchester special dies 2 files aLee 8mm 170 gr mould a 323 sizer and scrounged 40 or so 30-30 cases . Which only works if you hand load .
What you do is turn off the 30-30/32wcf rim and cut a new extracter groove . Delicately using the shell holder to finish the groove . I used my drill press and it's vice to hold the shell holder . Then just run them through the full length die and trim . Just 1 more thing both 32s use .321 jacketed bullets not the .323 8mm bullets .
Mine shoots about 2" with the lyman tang peep from a good rest which is a little tricky with a pump . My Speer manual states that the 32 WCF data is for 32Rem.too.
John Barness described the turn and cut in Hand Loader and both that and guns and ammo state the 32 REM and 32WCF are identical beyond the rim vs rimless .
Cool project and very cool gun. My buddy has a 141 in 35 Remington....
