    Interest in .32 "Ruger Only" Buy?

    This would a the .45 "Ruger Only" design more or less scaled down to .314 diameter. It would weight right at 105 grains.

    Interesting. It would likely be a very good general use 32 Ruger bullet. But it seems a little bit lite.... In the 45 wasn't it about 325 grains - heavy for caliber. At 105 this wouldn't be considered particularly heavy for caliber. Are you considering a HP option?

    Depending on which ruger, that boolit might be too long in the nose to fit.

    Would like to see a drawing, so I can check if it'll fit in mine.

    The bullet is more or less scaled to retain the balance and accuracy tendencies of the .45 "Ruger Only". It comes out at 105 grains. There isn't much that can be done to change the weight that would not possibly alter the positive characteristics of the parent design. Ideally, if Mihec will take this one, I'd like to see a hollowpoint mold.

    The crimp-meplat length is only .315", giving a loaded length of less than 1.4" in the .32 H&R Mag. I don't know of any cylinder it will not fit in. I don't know about .327 cylinders.

    Thank you for the clarification. The Single seven cylinder is a bit shorter than some but a crimp groove to meplat of about 0.350" works in it. When talking a scaled down ruger only boolit, I was expecting a heavier and longer boolit. I have the MP 100 and 120 grain HP molds already. Brad

    I have a really nice 125g .314 that I've been after Arsenal to make a run of but never garnered much interest here.

    Check with 'Accurate Molds' as both designs are within his Tooling ranges.

    Accurate has several which fit these parameters which can be ordered immediately.
