    I've got an old Ideal 321427 (134gr RN GC) that I picked up years ago. I also have the Ideal 321297 (180gr FP GC) and RCBS 32-170 (170gr FP GC).

    Accurate Molds has several rifle designs in that weight range that might suit your needs:

    I like the RCBS 32-170- FN
    the Lee C324-175-1R would also work over 4198 of H-335

    My Marlins love them

    The Lee 8mm 175gr mold that Grmps mentions is a great starting mold for this caliber. If you can find a Lyman 323470 it is a Louverin design round-nose gas-check design that is almost perfect at 165gr for this caliber.

    I have used both and they are very accurate when sized at .323 for my 1936-made Win94 32 Special carbine.

    I use the lyman 165 gr for the 8m/m . works well in the .32-40 and even the 8m/m. one mold covered them all.

    Same as above-- my 32WS loves the 324175-1R and the 321427

    Accurate makes a cracker jack bullet for the 32 spec., and is marked as such in the catalog. I use it with a fairly healthy load of ball c and get 1850fps with a sixteen inch barrel. It's accurate in my shooter, nice crimp groove holds lotsa lube gas checked and doesn't run into the rifling when chambered. It works great for me.
