Default 32 Auto, 32 ACP, 7.65 Browning?

Well, I just (1 hour ago)picked up a WWII vintage Colt pistol chambered for the said cartridge. I have sucessfully located reloading data (Lee Manual), dies (Lee), brass (Magtech), primers and powder (WW 231). I can't find any bullets!! Magtech loads a 71 grain FMJ in its factory loads, so SOMEONE has to make bullets. But who? Any help would be great.

BTW- the gun cost a whole of $30. The guy I bought it from is a fellow Deputy Sheriff. He got it from his Grandpa's estate when he died. It functions ok from what I can tell without actually firing it, as he took it to a smith earlier. I also took it to the same smith before I paid the guy. So, I will take it apart, clean all the parts, get some loads, and do the vice, shoe string thing for the first few shots.

Well, I guess I should have just looked a little harder before posting. I just went to Midway USA and they are crawling with the little .312" bullets!!!

Should be a fun project. Any one have any experiences with it?

I load .32 ACP for a Kel-Tec P32 and CZ-50. Not as hard to work with as people will tell you it is. Components are small, but if you have normal dexterity there should be no problems. I've used Bullseye and Unique in most of my loads, and they work fine.
