What I have for case data is as follows:

OD @ neck = 0.3320"
OD @ base = 0.3340"
OD @ rim = 0.3760"
Length = 1.037"

Contrast w/ .32 H&R magnum...

OD @ neck =0.3330"
OD @ base =0.3330"
OD @ rim = 0.3710"
Length = 1.080"

Unfired .32 H&R's will chamber but not go in all the way...

So: Have a source of brass to theoretically rework, no sweat.

(Going to have my gunsmith check it out B4 attempring to fire live rounds...and even then, the HOTTEST the ca. 1915 jobber will EVER shoot as long as I own it will be .32 S&W Long target wadcutters or CAS loaded .32's... )
