	Hi, I'm interested in any information regarding the .32 Miller such as a drawing(dimensions), forming cases etc. Thanks in advance, Bob

	The Miller long is a .357 Max case tapered to 32. It is the basis for the Miller short. If you download the Miller short and take the base angle and extend it out to max length you have the case. 40 Rod

	John, So the Miller is just a .357Max tapered to .32 with no trimming involved. Basically its similar to your .32-30 IMP without a neck. Bob

	It is very similar. Frankly if I had known then what I know now The only thing that I would have changed would be to have left the first .200” at the base straight and then started my taper. I just came at mine from a different direction to get to pretty much the same place. 40 Rod

	Thanks John. I've been doing a little research into different cartridges to use for a RKS barreled bench rifle. I don't want to reinvent the wheel as you guys put a lot of R&D into whats currently available. I do want something that can be made from a parent case that's easy to obtain like the 357max or 30-30. Some of the cartridges I'm looking into are; .32 RKS .32-30 IMP .32 Miller long .32-222R 8.15x46R Bob

	The simple way to rechamber your rifle is to just go 32 RKS. It's my understanding that the RKS chambers are done by running the junction of shoulder to case body of the 223 reamer in 1.47, nothing more. A very simple chamber. The shoulder angle (23 deg) forms the throat of the chamber. Very simular to the way that the 32/40 makes the throat at 21.5 deg. You then cut the rim and headspace with a boring bar. Frank

Frank Thanks for the feedback. It sure does sound like the simple solution. The .32 RKS seems to have a great track record as well. Bob

	Re .32-222R I was at CPA today and had a look at their .32-222R reamer. Paul put a caliper to it. It appears that it can be made with a full length 357 max case straight tapered to .32.

	Decided to go .32RKS for a CPA bench gun. The barrels on order from Ron Smith and the reamer from PTG.
