Anyone cast for 32acp?

[michiganflyer]

Just wondering if anyone is using cast bullets in 32 acp ammo.
I have been reloading for years, lots of 9mm and 38 cast, but never anything this small. Since I have a new Tomcat I will be reloading for that soon.

I have a really old LEE mould which creates a 71 gr bullet looking just like the factory FMJ version.
About small, I also have a Lyman SC 25 ACP mould(HP) which I use for my 25 ACPs.
These create a completely relaxing session when they are in swing.

YUP. For my PP I generally use Lyman's 311252 over a max. load of Bullseye from the Lyman book. Size to the largest that will chamber reliably and you'll prob'ly do OK. Regards, Woody

I use the lee 90 grain swc in mine. Seat to fit the mag and just enough red dot to work the action. Mine likes them unsized. Accuracy is good but velocity is annemic. I have used a storebought roundnose 32 that weighs 72 grains and shoots good groups with a near max dose of unique.

I have an old double cavity RCBS mold that I've used to cast bullet to feed my Walther PP and HK-4.

Thanks guys, hey were did you get the old 71 grain mold? I am guessing that one is a thing of the past?

There's an interesting article by Ed Harris in the March/April '07 issue of "The Fouling Shot" (#186) comparing a Beretta and a Mauser using a variety factory loads and handloads. Not all cast boolits but still useful info.
