    Bushmaster, Thompson/Center used to market a Maxi-Ball mold for their .32cal. rifles (Cherokee & Seneca I think). Finding one in VG condition and at a reasonable price is going to take some doing, though.

    If you just want to try some there are usually some 32 conicals on ebay or amazon.

    Lee makes a SWC mould for the 32 S & W. I have used it successfully ,accuracy wise , in a Douglas Barrel @ .320 bore by paper patching soft lead boolits up to bore size with a snug fit, or by using 0.005 thick patches with the as cast lead boolits.

    Still I preferred RB velocity in the 32 over throw weight on various small game.

    Every lawbreaker we allow into our nation, or tolerate in our citizen population leads to the further escalation of law breaking of all kinds and acceptance of evil.
    Since almost all aspects of our cultural existence are LIBERAL in most states, this means that the nation is on a trajectory to dissolution by the burden of toleration and acceptance of LAWBREAKING as a norm, a trajectory back to the dark ages of history.

    I have the Thompson Center 32 Maxi mould. If you would like to try a few, I can send you a envelope with a few in it. You just pay postage. I am guessing around $3 for a dozen or less to meet the weight criteria mailed as a light packet to the US.

    Well I just finished placing my order for the Lee 32 cal maxi. I don't care if I have to wait 90 days or not. It said they were out of stock so we will see. I have enough of my original T/C Maxie's left to get me by as I don't often take the Crockett out specifically for bigger game. The coyotes I have killed with it have all been targets of opportunity and the PRB did just fine.

    I know it is not exactly legal but I have been thinking that a 32 maxi would be good medicine on whitetail doe. I know of several folks that swear by 25-20 and 32-20 rifles as the ultimate whitetail round for inside of 75 yards. I think my Crockett loaded with a maxi on top of 30 grains of 3Fg ought to have as much ballistic energy as a 32-20. Where I would hunt with it all of my shots would be within 50 yards or less. What do you all think?

    Best wishes,

    Joe

    Joe, the boolits looks small, and the energy is low, but of all people, if the 32 is in your hands, I'd say get the skinning knife ready! Be my luck that the buck of a lifetime would be out at 75 yards and there I'd be with a decision to make.

    Well guys in most cases 90% of my shots are measured in feet not yards. I like to hunt and to me hunt means up close and personal. The older I get the less I like the long shots.

    Here in MO, muzzleloaders must be .40 cal or larger to be legal, but they are allowing airguns .40 and larger too, and I'd but a 32 maxi could put out as much energy as most of the air rifles do.

    Yeah I know we're suppose to use a minimum of a 40, yet any center fire with an expanding projectile is perfectly legal. I am sure at the range I will be shooting the energy will be more than enough to do the job and more than some guns that folks use.
