I am looking for vintage ammo for the above gun. I have found, purchased and fired Remington Kleanbore 32 Remington Express, 170 grain Soft point Core-Lokt Centerfire Smokeless Cartridges.

I am trying to determine if SUPER X 32 REMINGTON AUTOLOADING. THEY ARE 170 GRAIN SOFT POINT BOAT TAIL will work in this Model 14? The bullet looks very similar, but, at the price being offered I want to make sure it is the same ammunition.

  Yes, The .32 Remington that the Model 81 used was the same as was used in the model 14 and 141.
  
  Additional: Are your sure the bullet is a boat tail?

  I can only assume that the Remington 32 Express is flat base design bullet. From what I have read, the bob tail is a more accurate design bullet.
  
  As the gun was my father's, I am only interested in having ammunination on hand to shoot on occasion.
  
  Thanks

  The boat tail bullet has has less air resistance (probably not the scientifically correct term). It is of value in long range shooting. At the range you would be shooting your .32 Remington the boat tail would not make any practical difference.
  
  I have my father's model 14 Remington in .25 Remington caliber. .25 Rem. ammo is even harder to find than the .32 Rem. I have a few boxes of .25 Rem ammo. That is probably more than a life time supply for me.
