Hello All. Anyone know a source for 32-40win ammo? Want to start feeding my Dad's old(1905) Winchester 94. He shot a plenty of deer with it over the years, rifle weighs a ton with the full octagonal bbl, but it shoots dead nuts. Thanks for any help.

.32-40 is a neat cartridge. My dad has his grandfathers Winchester 1894 (1895mfg) and we reckon it's put food on the table in three centuries. Try Ventura Munitions. I would suggest getting a set of dies and keeping all of your brass while you're at it. Ammo is out there but it's probably going to be mostly a small outfit loading it. The last .32-40 ammo I saw was a limited run by 49th Cartridge Company here in Fairbanks.

I've seen "John Wayne" 32-40 ammo at gun shows - it was spendy though.


I prefer classic.

Just a heads up for anyone in need... Graf has QC 32-40 brass in stock again. (820am cst 3/22/23)

QC is salty, but they're basically the only game in town left for properly headstamped new production brass.

I load my own, 165 Hornady flex tip. I killed this deer last fall with one. Hit him in chest, came out rear hindquarter
