Thread: Lyman #313361 ?

  1. #1

    Lyman #313361 ?

    I've been looking for a Lyman#313361 mould. To go with my FA 32H&R. Would any of the custom mould people duplicate this bullet design for me? And which ones?

    Do you mean 313631? Was one on Ebay a couple days ago.
    Yes, I am cynical, contrary, opinionated and cranky. So what? Nobody much liked John Adams or Howard Hughes either.

    We need to quit waiting for someone else to protect our rights. NRA isn't going to do it for us. If you aren't emailing, calling, writing and visiting your reps, if you aren't pro-active in this fight, if you just sit in front of the TV complaining about things then you're just as guilty as the anti gun crowd. If that makes you uncomfortable GOOD! Now do something about it, get active! MAKE A STAND NOW!!! "

    ?????

    BbS: I can't find pics of either of these lyman#'s in any source on hand..maybe Doug("Floodgate") will see this and help out..But, you might peruse NEI's selection online to see if something there lights up. I had great success with their # 67A in the tighter bored 32/20's (aka 30-20's)..good luck, Onceabull

    I have been using that bullet for many years in not only my .32 H&Rs but other .30/.31 cal riles. It is excellent out of my original run SS and out of my 10" Contender. It also is superb in 32-20s. The GC's 105 gr SWC is an excellent choice for the M1 Carbine also. Perhaps a group buy as Lyman no longer makes that mould. If not the GB then a continued search for one will be worth the effort in the end.

    onceabull:

    It was a transposition for #313631 - see BigBoreShooter's correction above. Cherry number ...361 went with a 25-caliber plain-base spitzer #257361, "Designed by Ed. P. Bernard of Yokohama, Japan for .25-20 S. S. or repeater if loaded as single shot with 4 grains of Unique." This is per the 1958 Forst Edition "Handbook of Cast Bullets", p. 107. It was offered from 1911 through 1953. Weight not listed in my sources. No. 313631 was offered 1987 through 1997 as a .32 handgun 100-gr. SWC with grease groove, crimp groove and gas check. Neither of these bullets show up in the 1973 2nd Edition "Cast Bullet Handbook".

    The 311316 is 115 grains, and a lot more often seen than the 313631, if your groove is .312 it will work fine (better). If not, you can lap/beagle it. I've got one casting .316" right now. I like the shape better than the 313361, that's why I passed on the 361 0n ebay.
    We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).

    Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.

    Never noticed that 316/631 thing before. Have both moulds, the 311316 is still my favorite.
