You sure they're not just talking about hollow points? I've never heard of a 32 that wouldn't shoot FMJs.

Hi JR777, the Seecamp was designed and built around the Winchester Silvertip 60gr. HP. There isn’t enough clearance or head room for a taller round like a round nose. It took me a while digging in forums and on YouTube to discover this “design issue”.
i appreciate you asking for clarification. Hope that this explains my quest.
Well it makes sense if you were going to design a 32 specifically optimized for hollow points. The biggest issue with HPs in 32s is the extra room in the magazine, because it can allow the rounds to shift and upset that unique kind of stacking that semi auto mag fed 32s suffer. That, along with the penetration issue, is the main reason people are told not to use HPs or flat nose in a mag fed 32. In a typical 32 magazine they rely heavily on the round nose almost touching the mag wall to make sure it can't let the rounds get rimlocked.
ETA: I did see quite a few HP offerings on ammoseek earlier.
PM sent on some Silvertip.
