Anybody tried this?
I have a Remington Model 8 (non tubular magazine) in .32 Remongton and modern boolit molds don't seem to exist for it. Wondering if a mold for
AK boolits would work so I can keep shooting the rifle and use spitzer boolits.

If the .32 Remington uses a conventional .32 caliber rifle bullet of approximately .321" or so, it won't work, or at least it won't work well. Cast 7.62x39 bullets top out at around .315". Big difference.

Wyatt,
You could try 8MM cast bullets. They would be almost ideal.

You could paper patch the 7.62X39 boolits to suit.

Buy LEE's 8mm 175gr Mold. Its a Round Nose design that will drop at the right diameter for your 32 Remington which is a primarily a rimless copy of the 32 Winchester Special.

Here is a link to one with the price under 25$

size it to .323 and lube and gas-check it and you'll be just fine.
