Works like the real McCoy, just back it off a bit.

I use a 30-30 crimp die on 32 spec without any problems.

Thats good to know.10 bucks compared to 30.
Lee should make the .32 FCD standard along with the neck sizer only die.

Who would have thought.
The 32 Spec being .013 larger in diameter, one would think the bullet would lodge in the die.

Those who have tried it seem to swear by it.

I wouldn't think that would work .Apparently it does.I was thinking about having Lee make a 32 die for me.I already have one for the 30/30 so I guess I won't have to.Thanks Guys!

With 30/30 cases it will. If you use the longer cases you'll need the trick mentioned in the 38/55 thread or a 7.65 Argentine die works on 32/40 brass.
