Looking for some campfire wisdom.

I'm about to buy a set of dies for my daughter-in-law as a gift. 32 Winchester Special.

What do you like for this fine old caliber?
Manufacturer? 2 die or 3 die set? What do you like and why?

Thanks
Jim

I just bought a set of RCBS dies for my .32 Special but have not had a chance to use them yet. If they work as well as my RCBS .30-30 dies, I'll be happy.

+1 on the Lee Factory Crimp Die.

Pretty much any 2-die set should do you fine for the 32 Winchester.

We are not talking high-precision here, so a used die set from Ebay should do you fine, along with the Lee Factory Crimp Die.

Or since it is a gift, just get a shiny, new, RCBS 2-die set from Midway along with the Lee crimp die. Lee dies work fine, usually, but I prefer the other companies dies over Lee's except for the Crimp Die.

I use a set of RCBS dies when I load for my M94 32 WIN SPL, to include crimping with the RCBS seater/crimper die that came in the set - no problems.
