.32 ACP ammo question

I carry an older Colt model 1903 and was wondering what hollowpoints are available for it that will feed reliably.
I picked up some Speer and they are just OK but the first to feed gets hung up a bit.
I have some PMC loads for my .25 Baretta and they look like they would do the trick if I could find them in .32

Any suggestions?

I do have other guns to carry and usually carry a .40 cal but I like these old Colts and they are well made.

  I've shot Federals in mine okay. This is pretty much a "You gotta try" them all and decide what's your particular weapon likes.

  WINCHESTERS 60 GR. SILVER TIP H.P. IS A GOOD CHOICE IN 32 AUTO.

  I have the same gun and found Winchester to feed reliably and shoot most accurrately. The only feeding problems I've had were from reloads.

  I find that the Federal Hydra-shock 65 grains work well in most of my older pistols (Walther PPs). I don't remember using them in the 1903, but I believe that their profile will work the best. In my 1908 .380, I can tell you that the hydra-shock worked well, but the Hornady was quite a problem.
