The Minneapolis Protector uses .32 Protector, a Benet primed centerfire cartridge that's slightly smaller than the .32 Extra Short (0.365" case length to 0.390"). The .32ES (rimfire) was used by the Chicago Protector and Remington-Rider. The rimfire .32ES can be made by Roberson Cartridge Company, which uses an offset .22 blank as the rimfire method. I don't know of anyone making the centerfire .32ES, but a .32 BB cap is almost the same size (difference of .007 inches in case length).

I've never particularly researched small arms ammunition so Benet priming was something I was very vaguely aware of but really knew nothing about. So I did what most people on a computer do...
I found the following link quite helpful, it discusses cartridge cases and their priming system but for the section specifically addressing Benet priming, use the second link (otherwise, just scroll through the pages until you get to the "Centerfire" label): - Cartridge Cases: https://projects.nfstc.org/firearms/...m03_t06_02.htm Centerfire: https://projects.nfstc.org/firearms/...3_t06_02_c.htm |
