lee loader 32 acp

[tonyjr]

Anyone know if the 7.65 Mauser can be adjusted to reload 32 acp"s
My 32 lee has disappeared and Lee has stopped making them .
Pretty sure the Mauser takes a lager rifle primer and I know the 32 takes a small pistol .
TIA

I think that there is a bit of confusion going on here. The 7.65 Mauser is a rifle round.
The 7.65 Luger is a pistol round with a bottle necked case.

The .32 acp is the same as the 7.65 Browning round.

I see plenty of .32 acp dies available so I hope this information is helpful

That would be a definitive NO!

Base dia of the 32 ACP is.... .358"

Base dia of the 30 Mauser is .393" [bottleneck pistol cartridge]

Base dia of the 30 Luger is.. .394" [bottleneck pistol cartridge]

Maybe...Just Maybe, you could make a 30 cal US Carbine die work. It has a base dia of .360" and is a straight walled cartridge. Neck tension and bullet seating may also be problematic. Due to differing bullet diameters.
