Anybody casting for a .32 Win. Special? What mold are you using?
Thanks, Terry

RCBS 32-170-FN is a standard by which all others may be judged. There's plenty of info on this board about it, just do a little searching.
Ranch Dog 32 is also a dandy.
Either can be pushed pretty hard and maintain good accuracy.
It ain't rocket science, it's boolit science.
Lyman 321297. Skip the gas check when shooting 14.0 gr IMR 4227. Add the check when going faster.

I also use the RCBS 32-170 FNGC bullet in my Winchester 94 32 Win. Special. Due to the slow 1-16 twist barrels on these rifles, they will deliver supurb accuracy at full factory velocities. They are cast bullet rifles deluxe!

Ditto on the RCBS mold. It is excellent in my Mod 94 32 Special.

The RCBS is hard to beat.
Thanks for all the replies!

I'm using a Lyman 319??? (I wanna say 319-247), but don't quote me. It was originally meant for the 32-40. It's lapped out to drop at .322 and runs really well. But mainly I paper patch for my .32 Win Spl. Same boolit squished down to .311 and then patched up with two wraps of notebook paper over 29.5gr H335. It's a power house and a tack driver now.

Using the RD mould, still working on the load w/ LVR powder but seems to be an excellent design. Wish my eyes were 20 yrs younger!

Some of my favorite recipes start out with a handful of depleted counterbalance devices.
Got the Ranch Dog mold only plinked so far with 10gr of Unique.
