Does anyone know where to get a .32 S&W Long, Lee Classic Loader?

knastera · Jul 29, 2013

Does anyone know where to get a .32 caliber S&W Lee Classic Loader or something similar? I need to keep a stock of 32 S&W longs in stock. I have about 150 rounds that I am going to save the cases. I have a 32 cal mold but I can't find the tool to load them. I am not looking to go with a bench press or similar tool. I use my Lee Classic loader for 45 ACP and I'd like to get one (or something like it) in 32 S&W long.

I guess you know that they don't make those anymore. Keep an eye out on eBay.

As a more expensive alternative, you can get a Lee hand press and a set of dies. I use a hand press for pulling bullets.

Before there were LEE Classic loaders , there were Ideal/Lyman 310 Tools .

call them... there is one toward the bottom that says does 32 S&W... see how close the overall length of the 3 cases mentioned are...

I do not have experience with this website...

Thanks. I've tried that site. Unfortunately, it is broken.

I only load occasionally, so if there is any sort of hand loader from any vendor, I'll be happy.

Lyman 310 tool is still made, unfortunately the handles alone cost over $66 and the dies are that much again.

And I don't see .32 dies listed.

For $32.99 you can get the Lee hand press, a set of standard .32 dies would probably run you another $33, so for the price of the Lyman handles the OP could be loading for his .32.

Lee has a little open face press that would need to be mounted to something for $28.

Bolt it to a 2x4 then use c-clamps to hold it to the kitchen table or shooting bench. Very portable.

Yeah , I know . But the origional post said he did NOT want anything bench mounted , or conventional dies. If h had been specifically interested in compact portability vs simply the cheapest , then 310 would have been the next best
And at various times they had been made for plenty of cals that are now less popular or even obsolete. Even though for some of the cals you will be competing against collectors.

The 32 Auto set has a note under it that says the set can be used for 7.65 Browning and 32 S&W. You might want check that with Lee.
