A: Hello Cactus Jack! Well sir, an SWC bullet like the ones you've been firing doesn't have a jacket. When white hot propellant gasses cook the base of an all-lead bullet, it can't help but release lead vapor. Now, this here ammo's loaded with JHP bullets, which have fully jacketed bases. When the heat of ignition cooks the base of a JHP, it *does not* release aerosolized lead. Will you noticeless lead fouling? Absolutely. No ammo eliminates fouling altogether, but I'm confident you'll notice leass fouling with JHP over SWC ammo.

A: Great question, Tower! .32 H&R Magnum ammo will not work in your .32 ACP PPK, unfortunately. They're significantly different lengths, and have other differences as well!

A: Good on you for checking first! There are a few different cartridges that start with ".32" – they are all different lengths, and they are not interchangeable with one another. This particular cartridge, the .32 H&R Magnum, was designed in 1982, so we're going to guess your grandfather's revolver is not compatible with it. While it is possible that your revolver is chambered for .32 S&W Short, we would bet it's actually chambered for .32 S&W Long. That was a police cartridge back in the day, so a lot of revolvers were made for it. Please check the markings on the frame and barrel, and if that doesn't give you answers you may want to consult an expert before ordering ammunition. We hope this helps!

A: These are for the revolver. These are not the .32 ACP cartridge.
