History of 32 Winchester Special Ammo
Winchester designed the .32 Winchester Special rifle cartridge in 1901 to fill the void between the .30 Winchester (30-30) and .30 Army (30-40 Krag) using a necked-up .30-30 case. A primary difference between the .32 Special and the .30-30 is the rifle twist ratio in the respective guns' barrels. The ratio of rifle twist in the .30-30 is 1:12, and the ratio in the .32 Special is 1:16.
The .32 Special still has a loyal group of supporters, sufficient enough that at least three major manufacturers still produce the cartridge. It seems that it will continue to be in production for many years to come.
