Hey friends. Just fixed up a old .32 caliber revolver for a friend. Not real familiar with the ammo . It's a bottle neck cartridge. Any help with finding ammo or dies would be appreciated. Miss you guys .

Boy it aint cheap... especially with the ammo run going on. But:

Ammo (more than 32--20 shows up in this search, so you have to sift through the results):

The 32-20 was one of the original calibers offered in the Colt Model P (1873, or Peacemaker)along with the 45 Colt, 44 WCF, and 38 WCF. It is also called the 32 WCF. I thhink Uberti currently has it in the catalog, and we have a couple of them (or had) in the store. Ruger made a convertible Blackhawk in 32-20 and 32 H&R back in the day. pretty big gun for such a small caliber. I think it would perform much like the 30 Carbine or 327 Federal. Only not as loud.

Gidday Joe, great to see you again mate.

The 32.20 was a common cartridge in Winchester Lever guns out here in Australia, but it’s not a calibre I’ve heard much of for a while. There is ammo out there for sale, but it damned expensive. There are a couple of ammo outlets advertising on The Nut...maybe they can assist mate.

I found plenty of dues for sale...LEE make a set, EBay list a few as does MidSouthShooterSupplies.
