H&R 732
Went in the LGS today and spotted one for $139. It was in pretty good shape and came with a holster. Didn't intend to buy anything but I let the owner talk me into it. (Actually it's on layaway at the moment). Don't really have a need for a .32 S&W long but the cartridge intrigued me and it seemed to fill a niche between my .22 and my .357 for woods walking. I know I probably paid a little much for it but I'm happy. Any input or pet loads for it?
Pictures to follow when I finally bring it home.

Yes,
I have a load that will shoot through to the last page of two Phoenix phone books ( soaked in water ) and expand reliably to .64 caliber.

Re: H&R 732
Sounds like a fair price to me. Nice little gun, good investment, fun shooter

I shoot it from a Rossi solid frame revolver,
that is a solid frame revolver, it should handle it.

Re: H&R 732
Deals like this bring a little tear to my eye........ If I was a betting man I think you'll find little use for a .22lr in the woods now. Nothing the rimfire will do that the .32 won't do better as long as it shoots straight.
Re: H&R 732
Thanks guys, sounds like I did okay. Mescalaro, do tell it. I have been reading it is next to impossible to get one of those slow moving bullets to expand.

I have an H&R model 504 in .32H&R that my dad bought when the first came out with the cartridge. it is actually a very accurate gun and super fun to shoot.Bridger wrote:Went in the LGS today and spotted one for $139.

I've loaded some with .32 long brass and with hornady 90gr swc and a low charge of universal.
Re: H&R 732
I thought I would share the 732 that I am modifying right now. I put a Williams fire sight on the front and a peep on the back. It should make a nice trail gun.
I bought this gun for $75 about 5 years ago. The peep sight I made from 1/8 inch flat stock , so it isn't going to bend. What is nice about the 732 is that it has a slot for a rear sight blade. I just gave a piece of cherry to a guy at work today who has a scroll saw to cut out new grips. Fitting new grips is what is next.

Re: H&R 732
Nice! I like that front sight especially, though.
