.32 mold

[fontana vic]

Hoping someone here can help me in locating a 6 cavity .32, .313 size mold.... if there is such a thing. I'd like to have bullet weight less than 100 grains.

Thanks in advance,
FV

I think that Lee's TL-314-90-SWC would fill the bill for you:

You can get them at F&M Reloading or Natchez Shooting supplies much cheaper. You WILL need a set of handles in addition to the mould blocks.

I have a Lee 311-93-1R six cavity that drops large enough to size to .314. It works well in my 32 mags and 32 s&w.

To my knowledge only one of the three Lee 32-cal boolit designs is commonly available in the 6-cav. mold configuration.

That is their 93gr. conventional lube groove 1-R radius round nose boolit design. The 100gr. conventional lube groove 2-R radius round nose and their 90gr. tumble lube SWC design are only normally available in two cavity mold blocks so any 6-cav. mold in those designs would be from a custom run.

I do believe that Ranch Dogs 75gr. RNWFT design intended for the 32-ACP should fill your needs almost perfectly as you describe it in your OP (even if you are loading for 32-cal revolver cartridge instead of the ACP) and is cut in Lee 6-cav. blocks in custom runs:

In addition if you are willing to accept one less cavity and a 5-cav. mold is okay then you might want to check out what Accurate Molds(.com) can do for you.

I still have some 32 molds.

I have some solid molds and also HP molds.

I have both the Lee and the MiHec mould and have had better success with the MiHec. The Lee is an excellent paper puncher but I'm having trouble keeping it stable past 30 yards (I just haven't figured out what I'm doing wrong yet). The MiHec has worked right out of the box with everything I've tried it out in, .32 ACP, .32 S&W, 32-20 rifles and handguns. The hollow pointed MiHec is something to behold, cast soft at about 750 FPS. Depending what your needs are both are pretty good.

Thanks for all the great information and links folks. I'll check them out.

This bullet will be used for my wife's .32 caliber Single Sixes that she shoots in Cowboy Action. Like myself, she has shot .45s for the last 10 years, but recently has developed some hand "issues"... so we are going to down to the .32 to reduce recoil. She shot them for the first time Saturday and loved them. I've been casting our .45 boolits for about 6 years using LEE 6 cavity molds.

I ordered the Ranch Dog (Lee custom) .314 sized, 75 grain 6 cavity today.

Thanks for the link turbo. I'll let you guys know how it works out.

I love my Ranch Dog 75 grainer more the more I use it. I can not articulate what makes it better than the parent Lee Molds, but it definitely is superior. Now I just need to find a good 32 H&R Magnum to shoot them out of...

I have a Lee .314 TL SWC, an RBCS .32-98 SWC-K, and a Lee RN 100gr. They all do well.
