I have been looking online for a pistol mold for my nagant revolver. My barrel slugs at .3158. I would like to use the reformed 32-20 brass and already have the appropriate dies from Lee. Problem is.... I cant seem to find (or may have overlooked) an appropriate mold. Didnt really want to buy a custom mold, but may have to to get this revolver up and gunning.
Does anyone have any experience loading for the nagant? Any suggestions on loads, techniques?

Maybe the Lee TL314-90-SWC and hone or beagle it? Cheap enough to give it a go.

No one loading for these old war horses?

Did you slug your cylinder? That was the main problem with mine. Smaller that the barrel. Someone here recomended 32 cal HBWC. They improved my groups by cutting them in half at least.

Hmmm.. Hadnt thought about that. I wonder what a pure lead straight 32 cal boolit would do over a small charge of something like red dot?
