    That's fantastic they look like 30 caliber gumballs.

    I have a .32 RB mold. I might try PCing a few and run them through a .310 sizing die. and see how they work!

    I wonder if they'd work in an AR?
    Obviously wouldn't cycle the action, but accuracy?

    I don't see why they would not do fine. I shoot low powered cast boolit loads in my AR that don't even jiggle the bolt carrier. They shoot as accurate as full power "J" word loads do at 100 yards. My 300 is built with a side charging upper so these loads are easy to hand cycle.

    Wolfdog needs a CVA scout 300 BO. Loads of fun. Even without the can!
    Whatever!

    I've tried running .32 round balls though a Lee .309 sizer and they come out sort of egg shaped and were a bit finicky to load straight. Later on I bought a Lee mold intended for a .32 auto pistol. It drops 86 grain .310" bullets. I load them over 3g of Red Dot and they shoot just under subsonic speeds. A friend shot them over a chronograph but I don't recall the exact numbers...
