The Lead Gods smiled upon me today, I had cleaned, lubed and prepped my new RCBS 32-098-SWC mold, and cleaned my new Lyman .314 sizer die and top punch last night and today I fired up the pot and started casting.
Here are the results, with wheel weight lead with a bit of #2 mixed in, they dropped at a hefty 101.5 grain average and at .314-.316 which is great. After sizing I ran a quick bunch through the new sizer die to see what I had and lucky me everything was in order. They lubed nicely and popped out of the sizer at .3145 inches :) which should do well in my circa 1920s .32 S&W long and gonna use the same bullet my old 32-20 revovler too.
So two thumbs to RCBS and Lyman they did not let me down.

I thought this would be a nice contrast...one of my Keith 250g .44 mag bullets next to their little brothers in .32 cal.
