    I have been asked a question I can not honestly answer.
    Hopefully one of you can help me out.
    Can 32 S&W Long be safely used in a S&W 32-44?
    From what little I can find I would answer this person a
    resounding "NO". But I want to be sure I am correct.
    Thanks for any help.

    Your answer is correct. The 32-44 was a black powder cartridge made for a .323 diameter bullet. A 32 S&W has a bullet diameter of .312. Plus the 32 S&W is smokeless, not black powder.

    A dedicated handloader can make cases out of .32-20.
    I can't find a source of bullets, RCBS makes an 8mm Nambu mould that should do OK.

    Thank You.
    That is what I figured.
    Okay so we will not get a sale on GunBroker.
    I will tell the buyer inquiring that they are
    not the same and will not work.
    Thank you again.
