98 gr 32 S&W Long Handgun Ammo

The 32 S&W Long was introduced in 1903. It uses the same .315-inch bullet as its predecessor, the 32 S&W Short, but has a longer (.92-inch) case. It is no powerhouse, but with a 98-grain bullet at 705 feet per second it is more powerful than the 32 S&W Short. 32 S&W Short cartridges can be used in a 32 S&W Long revolver, but not vice versa. The 32 S&W Long is a mild, low-recoiling cartridge that has long been popular for personal defense, although perhaps never extremely effective. Numerous revolvers have been so chambered, and ammunition is readily available.
