I am not sure about firing if with this new ammo. I have a real old box of Western Auto 32 but I am still unsure whether I should fire it or not. It in perfect working order but it does like it would still fire and do it well with the right ammo.

Any modern 80 grain round nose load will be safe to shoot. It will be loaded to black powder specs, no worry about being over proofed.

I have a couple of those, and shoot them all the time.

Biggest problem is that storebought ammo has got really spendy.

P.S. Just scored some Fiocchi wadcutters, which are also safe to shoot. A lot of people don't realize that when the Olympics had a centerfire pistol competition, .32 was the caliber of choice.

BTW, if you want to really play it safe, run down some .32 S&W short. It's like 600 fps. In good light, you can see the bullet.
