RCBS 32 mold

[MtGun44]

I picked up a nice condition used RCBS 32-170-FN rifle mold today. Has
anyone cast with this one? I am hoping to use it for 8x57, not sure what
diameter the thing will put out.

mine does at 17 bhn .323+++-.324+ other side .324++-.325

That's my favorite bullet for the .32 Winchester Special. I've not tried it in 8mm.

Same for me on the 32spl they are made for each other( a match made in heaven). Since mine dropped a little bigger I sized some to .323 loaded in rem. brass 32 grs IMR4895 win. primer= ragged hole at 50yds in my yugo m48. The one cav. is big enough that it might upset to .325, but I picked up a old 323471 lyman in perfect shape for my 8mm so I have another to play with.

I have and it drops at .324 with Lyman #2.I use it in my 32 Specials.

OK, so now I have to buy a Win 94 in .32 Spl - just no choice in the matter, no other
possible solution. . . . . . . . ;-)

Sounds like it will be a bit small for 8mm.

I've shot the RCBS 32-170-FN in a 8mm Mauser. For the Mauser, with faster twist, Longer (heavier) boolits are more aptly suited as far as I'm concerned.

I have one of those also and it can cast .324. I've shot them in a Comission rifle with a .323 groovebut not enough to really wring out details. It stabilized and showed promise. I was using varget also.

Did you get it at the Topeka gun show?

[MtGun44]

As a matter of fact, I did.

Marlin makes a nice one too, maybe 2 rifles are needed!

[Marvin S]

Then you bought it from me. There seemed to be a few people wanting 32/8mm rifle molds. I brought another the next day but did not sell it.

[MtGun44]

Well, we had a bit of a discussion about not needing hard alloy for magnum handgun
loads. Nice to meet you - sorry I didn't know you were a Cast Boolit personat the time.

Thanks and good luck with the mold.
