    In a somewhat similar vane as being able to use 38 Special dies to reload 357 Magnum…

    -Can 32 Winchester Special dies be used to load 32 H&R Magnum?

    -Can 45 Colt dies be used to load 460S&W?

    No for the 32 Special and 32 H&R. 32 Special is a much longer rifle cartridge, 32 H&R will slip up the bottom of the die like it isn't even there.
    32 S&W Long dies will work for the 32 H&R.
    45 Colt dies will load the 454 Casul., and maybe the- 460 S&W. I just load the 45 Colt, don't play with the 454 or the 460. 45 Colt dies might work for light loads, not sure if the 460 will enter the dies deep enough to size properly.
