    So what dies do you use to load it? 32acp? 32 magnum? This isn't something I'm likely to shoot much as I rarely shoot anything much but I'd like to get some made up so I can at least use it. Starline has the brass. So I'd rather not go to the expense of custom dies if there's a work around.

    I just found some from Steinel. It's backordered but I'm in no rush. They said it should be back in stock by the end of the month which is only a few days away. Hopefully, they are correct. Rather not wait a year.

    Although there ARE dies around for it, here's a thread you should have a look at. Let's talk about .32 French Long (AKA 7.65x20) - The Firing Line Forums

    I just happened upon an RCBS die set years ago, so didn't have to rig a work around. As BAR notes, there is some body of info out there from people that have successfully made do with stuff at hand.
