About: .32 rimfire   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/IRCSUQkPFNSQ19SarJ-CSw==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The .32 Short fired a 80 grain lead bullet at 945 feet per second from a 24-inch rifle barrel. The .32 Long fired a slightly heavier 90 grain bullet at approximately the same velocity. Remington rifles in .32 rimfire listed a bore diameter of .304 inch. During its lifetime, the .32 rimfire was loaded with black powder followed by semi-smokeless and smokeless powder loadings. While it was popular as a very effective small game caliber, it was considered obsolete by the late 1930s, in part due to the introduction of high velocity versions of the .22 Long Rifle using smokeless powder.

abstract
  • The .32 Short fired a 80 grain lead bullet at 945 feet per second from a 24-inch rifle barrel. The .32 Long fired a slightly heavier 90 grain bullet at approximately the same velocity. Remington rifles in .32 rimfire listed a bore diameter of .304 inch. The .32 Short and Long rimfire bullets matched the external dimensions of the .32 Colt Short and Long centerfire bullets; the Marlin Model 1891 lever-action repeating rifle was shipped with two firing pins, one rimfire and one centerfire, to allow use of either the rimfire or centerfire cartridges. Revolvers and single shot rifles chambered for one of the longer .32 rimfire cartridges would chamber and fire the shorter cartridges. During its lifetime, the .32 rimfire was loaded with black powder followed by semi-smokeless and smokeless powder loadings. While it was popular as a very effective small game caliber, it was considered obsolete by the late 1930s, in part due to the introduction of high velocity versions of the .22 Long Rifle using smokeless powder.
