If they are for breech seating I would just load up and shoot em. Are they formed in a .223 die? What is your chamber? A little more information would be helpful.

Just bell the case mouth slightly to get good contact with the chamber And shoot your regular load. If you have never shot the cartridge start with the load published for .32 Miller short reduce by 10% and work back up to your best load.

.223 die? I did not know that would work for a 32 miller.

It might not work for the Miller but it does indeed work for some of the other .32 cases made from the .357 maximum case.

Courious, new to the short cases. My new chamber is cut to 1.285 inches, so what are the lenghts of the other short cases like 32-20, 32 miller & 32 miller short, aren't they all about 1.315 or so?
Never seen a picture of all three together, anyone got one?

Simi-new guy at this

My article in the Journal on the .357 family of cases had all the cases side by side in one photo. I can't remember which issue it was.
