I found 2 boxes of Winchester unprimed brass so I have a start. Still waiting for a set of dies.

I bought buggers 32 WS can’t wait to shoot it. ( he also got a Leupold scope in the deal) so I think $950 is bout right
I use the Hornaday FTX bullet.
Remember, the less constrained the column of powder, the more efficient.
The Winchester 32 was criticized for shallower grooves and lans. Would wear out quickly?

Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

My .30-30 has the same milling on the lifter as your .32. I believe it was milled that way so the cartridge rim could slide by when loading.

Going through some stuff today I found a box of 38 Hornady 32 Special 170 grain flat points. PM me if you’re interested.
