So, I have an odd question. I know that 32 caliber firearms are prohibited, but is .32 caliber ammo? For the Nagant 1895 revolver the proper ammo is horrendously expensive, but I read that it can take .32 S&W long or .32 H&R magnum rounds. Now, I'm aware of the risks with this, so I don't need info on that, but would I be breaking any laws if I were to fire it with that caliber ammo? Is that ammo even readily available in Canada? I would appreciate any insight.

Ammo is not prohibited by calibre, 32 is used for target shooting.
