I think this is a really neat project.

The squirrels are piling up to the little cartridge, mostly from the S&W the since I finished it up. I'm very happy with how well the little cartridge is doing keeping the tree rats in check.

man this is making me want to try a little booger like this! I've long wanted to make a 32acp rifle for the same reason. I even made a swaging die to turn 00 buckshot into tiny swc hp bullets.

Squirrel, may I ask where you found your .32 swagging die? I have a Remington #4 in 32RF that I am converting to CF.
Thank you Lowell

Are you leaving the RF chamber alone and turning the #4 into a .32 colt, or rechambering it? I've got a couple of swaging dies for .32, I've got homemade dies and Corbin dies. I had a set of Herter's dies at one point, and I've had CH4D dies as well. |

I thought I would rechamber the #4RRB to take the .32 S&W Long Cartridge because the cases seem easier to find and it will clean up the chambers a bit. I will still load to BP pressures, should be a fun gun to play with. I also have a .204 barrel fitted to the frame so I can talk about shooting it on here as a 20-32 Long. I have had some help from a couple of guys on this forum. This won't happen now until we get settled in Wyoming.

I made it myself from a grade 8 bolt. I profiled a swc shape after I turned it down to size and modified a lee push through sizing die. then I profiled a tapered pin and drilled a hole into the "swaging pin" set it in and soldered it. I tumble the oo buck pellets in some 45/45/10 lube then run them into the die. after they swage I whack the bolt and out comes a .310 little stubby swc hp bullet. I have yet to try them though. I sold the wifes 32 H&R revolver shortly after making it and never have owned another 32 since. I assume you could use 0 and 000 with some adjustments if you wanted a lighter or heavier slug. I have a 30-06 barrel laying around that I plan to spin up for a single shot 32acp survival rifle. Have had the plans drawn up for a few years now just got too many irons in the fire currently. That will likely be my first homemade gun project. Last edited by squirrel_slayer; 10-26-2018 at 01:30 AM. |

The ladybug, in the contender, and the S&W has now accounted for over 100 squirrels in a little under a year.
