And yes, the pun was intended. I was out of 7.62X25 pistol ammo, and went to The Sportsman's Guide to order up some more. Figured as long as I was there, I would also order a chamber adapter so I could fire the same ammo in my Mosin Nagants. I had the .32 chamber adapter, but it did not even come close to the same point of impact as my regular 7.62X54R ammo. At 14 bucks, figured I would see if this one worked better than the .32 adapter.

im loving the chamber adapters ive got , but i wont ever suggest i get the results of the original cartridge , most generally they just let me shoot something that was no longer usable as designed , or cheaper than its original design , or one the orginal design is not available for

let us know how it works out for you ,

A lot of .32 pistol bullets are undersized.
You might get better results with the .32 adapter if you handloaded using a larger bullet.

Also I only tried .32 ACP so far. I have yet to try .32 S&W Long or .32 H&R mag.

Well, 2 weekends in a row my shooting buddy backed out. And since it''s a private range that he's a member of, he don't go, I don't go. If he backs out this weekend I'm just gonna have to pony up the 25 bucks for the closest public range, Monday.

Why don't you join the range then you wouldn't need to depend on your friend.
