Thanks Norm & Don. It is interesting that your page shows H&R as the same as 32 S&W L. But according to the H&R authors H&R did make a longer than 32S&W. It came out before the S&W 32L. They ceased it when S&W came out with the 32S&WL. I just purchased a !902 or so H&R revolver. It is in 32 cal. It also has a longer cylinder than a 32S&W. Also a 32long is just a bit to long for the cylinder. That's when I went searching on line and found 2 mentions of a H&R 32 L. They ceased it in 1905. It was a black powder load. I can cut down 32 S&WL to fit. Maybe even use 32S&WL brass with a wad cutter or flat bullet. More curious than anything. Thanks again. Bill
