For revolver shooters running 32 S&W Long chamberings, this PPU 98 grain round nose load strikes the balance between economy and consistency. Introduced in 1896 as a target cartridge, 32 S&W Long remains a low-recoil option for precision practice and small-frame revolvers. PPU loads this cartridge with a lead round nose bullet seated in boxer-primed brass, pushing 787 fps and 136 ft-lbs from a 6-inch test barrel — enough energy for 25-yard paper without punishing recoil.

PPU manufactures this ammunition to SAAMI specifications with non-corrosive primers and reloadable brass cases. The lead round nose profile feeds reliably in both single-action and double-action revolvers, making it a practical choice for 32 S&W Long platforms from Smith & Wesson, Colt, and H&R. Measured velocity reflects testing from a 6-inch barrel; expect 50-75 fps less from snub-nose configurations.
