Hey Guys,
I have had my Grandpa's .32 SW Long(ser 263xxx circa 1930 ish) and SW 32 WCF(ser 96xxx circa 1920ish) that I'm going to start reloading for. The SW Long should size at .312 and the 32-20 should size at .313. My Grandpa has been gone now for 10 years and my Grandma just gave me the guns a few years back, I cleaned them well but the barrel of the .32 SW Long has few pits, and the but the .32 WCF is in nice shape for its age..just a very small spec of pitting...probably shot a lot of corrosive ammo back in the day and not cleaned well. Mechanically the revolvers are sound.
So I'm thinking I can use the RCBS 98 g .32 SWC(#82061) its supposed to cast at .314 then I size them down for each gun.
Does anyone have any experience with this mold loading, does it cast at .314??
Also I'll be loading powder puff loads as the guns are 90+ years old.
Heres a pic of them, also the little .32 Mauser was brought back by my Great Aunt after WW2..guess the German officer didnt rate a Luger so they gave him a Mauser.
