Can any one that reloads 32-20 pm. me about where they get bullets for them?

Also what primers and powder they use in reloading them and any reloading data that they like.

This is for a S&W 1905 3rd change 6 inch barrel made in December of 1919.
So it was one of the first with the hardend cylinder.

It has to be one of the best revolver calibers I've ever shot but at $40 a box it is a must reload.
 
I reload for the 32-20, but I use my own home cast bullets. Lyman 3118, 115 grain sized to .313 dia. They shoot very well in a single action pistol, and a Contender. I would suggest getting a Lyman reloading manual for proper loads.
I use wheel weights for my alloy, and add a little pure lead for light loads.
 
I use Meister bullets to reload my 32-20. They have a bullet designed for the 32-20 cartridge (RB-32-20). Be sure that you use 32-20 Pistol data. There is separate reloading data for the 32-20 high velocity rifle cartridges and for the Thompson Center single shot pistols. These loads are way to hot to shoot in your revolver. I use Lee Modern Reloading 2nd. Edition for my load data.

I like the Lee Factory Crimp die for the 32-20. It avoids buckling the cases, which are really thin.
