32 S&W Long Ammo For Sale
History of 32 S&W Long Ammo
The .32 S&W Long (7.65x23mm) is a straight-walled, centerfire, rimmed handgun round introduced by Smith & Wesson in 1896. The round, modeled after the .32 S&W cartridge, was made for the S&W Model 1896 Hand Ejector revolver, a precursor to the modern-day Magnum handguns. An extended version of the .32 Smith & Wesson cartridge, the case is a straight-walled, rimmed centerfire – similar to the .32 H&R Magnum and .327 Federal Magnum case diameter, but shorter in length.
In 1896, the 32 S&W Long cartridge was manufactured using black powder. By 1903, S&W had updated the round and used smokeless powder while preserving the chamber pressure. The introduction of smokeless powder slightly altered factory ballistics for the .32 S&W Long to a 98 grain lead bullet with 705 fps.

Good ammo for target and plinking. For more ooompf, the two 32 magnums are a better choice.
