I have read and been told that this is doable if .32 Rem dies cannot be found and right now at least I cannot find any. Anyone tried this or have opinions on it?
TIA

If you let the dies out enough, you should be able to neck size using .32 Win Special dies.
The problem is that if you set them down fully, the .32 Win Special dies will push the shoulder down incorrectly for the .32 Remington, which has a shallower shoulder angle than the Winchester cartridge.
So, yes technically, but not something I would encourage unless you have no other option. I wouldn't go out of my way to buy .32 Win Special dies though.

Nor I and they are almost as hard to find as Rem dies! I did find a Lyman .32 Win sizing die on ebay and have it coming. Its worth a try, knowing that HS must be carefully watched.
