Lee .32 ACP mold

[exile]

Anyone have any experience with the Lee 311-93-IR mold? It is a 93 grain mold for the .32 ACP, sized .311. Specifically, I am wondering if it will feed and cycle through a North American Arms Guardian? Maybe it is too large a bullet for such a small gun? Thanks.

I figure it's aimed mostly at .32 S&W and .32 S&W Long, being of the right shape and halfway between the standard factory weights of those rounds' bullets.

I'm sure you can find workable loads, but your velocity may be on the low side from a very short pistol.

For some reason this mould is sold out at most online dealers. I've looked at it for the Tokarev and for the Nagant revolver.

Thanks, Richochet. Happy 4th to you and your family.

I use Lee's 100gr RN 32 cal bullet as a light plinker for my 7.62x39 Mauser and in my 308 Mauser. Light loads of Unique or Red Dot keep the recoil off and accurate enough for my sons (11 and 7) and shoot without developing a flinch.

Oh, when I am not in New York State they get loaded in an Nagant pistol with 32 Long cases. Haven't fired them in about four years. Looking forward to leaving the state next spring after this deployment is over with so I can reconnect with my pistol shooting.

..............Haven't used that Lee boolit but have used the little Lyman 77gr RNPB they list for the 32 ACP. It's been shot in a 30M1 Ruger BH, a couple 30-06's, and a couple Argentines. Can't push it hard. Powder charges are miniscule and recoil is a laugh. I think the firing pin smacking the primer moves the rifle more.
