    As FYI, Here is the latest mold I have ordered from Accurate. Originally intended for the .30 Carbine Ruger Blackhawk and TT33 in 7.62x25, the parallel nose band above the crimp groove is .310" diameter with tolerance negative to enter the cylinder throats of the Ruger WITHOUT sizing, and the .355 nose length is correct to fit into the US Carbine magazine and the TT33 ande CZ52 mags.

    It just so happens that with the driving bands at .312+ tolerance, bullets will drop as-cast so as to be suitable in most .32 S&W Long revolvers, and just coincidentally, the weight, shape and profile of the bullet happens to closely resemble the .32 Colt New Police and would be very suitable in that application, whereas the driving bands can be sized to fit the particular pistol or revolver.

    For those interested, the Accurate 36-151H bullet achieves the same effect, approximating the .38 Colt New Police or .38 Colt Special when loaded in .38 S&W or .38 Special brass.

    If you want a modern gang mold for a traditionally styled .32 bullet, taking advantage of modern precision computer control of dimensions and tolerances, it is hard to do better than this:

    Great now I've gotta buy another 32 cal mould. Thanks, Outpost75, thanks a lot!

    It is pretty though, isn't it?

    Yes, and I just ordered another of same profile, but adding .090" GC heel under the base band for .645" overall and about 118 grains for .30 M1 Carbine.
