Attachment 260472
This is a 32cal from an NEI mold that I had at one point. This particular batch came out at 97gr.
It didn't do as well in my 32H&R as another and I sold it here in the classifieds. Come to find out, my dad's 32 S&W Long loves it and I am down to about 150 or less. I can't remember the mold number or who bought it, but I sure would like to find it or another. Any help is much appreciated.
It looks kinda like a version of the (discontinued) Lyman 314631, only without the gas check. Which current makers have you checked?

Arsenal has one that is very similar. I may have to go that route if I can't find the NEI
Accurate has the 31-105L that looks like it I think, only with a flat base
If it works well in your Dad's, I would hang on to 3 or 4 of them - any chance you could possibly send one to Accurate and have Tom duplicate the mold based on your sample?
I'm afraid I don't know the NEI number, and I'm afraid even if I did it wouldn't do a ton of good since they're out of business.
The meplat is larger in diameter than the 313631 or the arsenal version. But Arsenal does have a 98 grain .32 SWC mold that looks similar, though with a slightly different nose profile.
Send a couple to Tom at Accurate molds and he will reproduce it. Walt Meander did make some beautiful molds and I have a couple, but not that one. Now I have a 32 long I just might have to buy one. Of course, I do have the 32 Keith Lee group buy mold that comes out at 98 gr. Since that is a 6 cavity maybe I should be satisfied.
As an update, I do actually have that NEI mold... it's labeled simply 100 313.
Let me know if you get bored with itQuote:
