32 rimfire boolit

[jethunter]

I'm looking for dimesions/drawing of heeled 32 rimfire bullets, long and short varieties. Is there a web based source for this info?

Is the 32 rimfire bullet similar to the centerfire colt 32 colt short/long?

I believe Lyman once made Molds for that Cartridge. I have a Copy made by Bill Loos. 32 Colt, Long and Short, is dimensionally similar to 32 rimfire. 32 Long is different. Lyman Cast Bullet guide #3 has pictures of the Boolit you ask for. Cartridges of the World has the Boolit size.

Talk to Old West Bullets for all things heeled at this point in history. I don't know if he has a .32 but that's your best shot that I know.

As Wayne indicated, www.oldwestbulletmoulds.com makes a mold for the .32 Colt. It is not shown on his website but if you email or call him he will send you a list of the molds that he makes.

The bullet on the left is from an old Ideal mold for the 32 LC in the original .78" long case.
The bullet on the right is from an Accurate mold designed to fit the current .91" long case

31-090A dimensions (The original heel for the .32 LC bullet was .299" but I wanted a heel diameter that would be a snug fit in cases fired in my rifle thus the .305" dimension)

The original .32 LC bullet in the long case has a hollow base the same as in the .32 R-P cartridge.

Thanks for that information, it helps. I have checked COTW and they do give bullet diameter but not the other bullet dimensions. I'll give Old West Bullets a call.
