I had some Winchester white box that was flat nosed. I don't know if it still is or not. After paying $32 a box of 50 a couple years ago I started reloading for mine. Now it cost me about $7-8 per 50. I don't even know what the cost is for factory ammo today.

Thanx for the reply,
I've been told not to reload auto ammo (by my revolver friends) is it difficult to get it to work reliably in an auto? Never reloaded but would love to try.

many people reload auto ammo. I don't think there are really any issues.

winchester white box is flat nosed. expensive though.. about $8 more per box than fiocchi. I like the fiocchi.. it's a little bit hotter, too.

People reload auto ammo all the time. If you do it right it is no problem. Why were you looking specifically for flat nosed ammo anyways?

Well, uhm, I've drunk the magic bullet koolaide. According to buff bore, the hard cast flat nose does more damage than the round nose. Heard about bb jamming in the P32 due to length (like a hollow point). As I would like to reload wadcutters in my H&R 732, I'd like to try something "special" for the P32. Course this could be just a newbies folly
thanx

I've used the BB. It didn't jam. It is sized OAL for the Seecamp. If you must use it, then get the rimlock magazine kit from keltec or do the 'piano wire' mod.
Rumor is that BB is coming out with another 32acp cartridge using a 60gr TAC-XP but Barnes's website didn't show a TAC-XP in 32(yet). M/LE TAC-XP Pistol Bullets | Barnes Bullets

I doubt that the cast flat nose 'bullet' alone is the cause of the 'damage'. BB loads their ammo hot... very hot. I usually load the magazine with '1' BB 1st and the rest whatever I'm using. Having a friend shoot it at the range is hilarious....pop pop pop pop pop BANG... no denying the maker of that last round. I don't think that BB is something that I'd regularly want to fire. Think of it as a +++P+++ round(thinking I'm missing a few of the +'s). I'm also thinking that the 11 or 13lb Wolff springs should be seriously considered.

At that point, just go buy a PF9 or P11 instead of beating the snot outta your P32.

The PF9 and P11 don't carry as well as my P32. And, if I ever have to get to the last round in a magazine, then let it get beat up. Its why I own it.

I was talking about using +p over an extended period of time, it will hasten the death of your P32....or if you're using that ++p++ stuff, may as well go 9mm.
