A while ago I bought an Ideal single cavity mold in the 313226 pattern. This is the traditional round nose 93 grain boolit commonly seen in factory loaded 32 S&W Long ammo. When the mold arrived I found it had considerable use on it but had not been abused. After a clean-up I tested the mold halves to mate together and they did this well so I pulled out a set of Lyman single cavity handles and bolted the mold halves on them. Then came the problems. The mold halves would not close at the back end closest to me. The front end of the mold halves had full contact but the rear of the mold showed a constant seam of light that shouted "open". I could get the rear of the mold to close with a heavy grip on the handles but knew this would get old really fast. After a bit of looking I found that the forward end of the handle arm was making contact with the inside wall of the mold so early that it was holding the rear of the mold out and not allowing the halves to rotate and close. I removed a slight bit of material from the forward ends of the handles (facing the mold halves) and this allowed the halves to rotate and close as intended. This slight dimensional change on the mold cuts for the handles, or perhaps the handle arms, were the issue I found and corrected. Now the mold works as intended and produces very nice boolits for loading "traditional" 32 S&W Long ammo. Nostalgia has it's price but I"m willing to pay for it, even in sweat equity.
