Hi everyone,
My dad got hold of some .32 H&R(harrington and richardson)magnum ammo the other day,and he called me asking if they could be safely fired in .32 s&w revolvers?The cartridges fit in the cylinder and their length doesn't stop the cylinder from rotating,and the revolver is an arminius hw3 in .32 s&w long chambering(1987,year of manufacture).If anyone has had any experience with these cartridges please let me know.Thanks

Please don't let your dad shoot it. You can shoot 32 S&w long in a 32 magnum revolver but not 32 magnum cartridges in a normal 32 revolver. This is very dangerous, do not proceed.

Regards,

Dev

Never Do that. The cylinder will not be able to sustain the pressure and may burst, causing injury. NEVER DO THAT
