I'm looking for a mold for my 32 ACP target pistol. The pistol can shoot groups of one inch at 50 yards with non-lead tips. I'm looking for a tip that weighs about 70 grains and one that I can hollow point. I'm only looking for one inch at 25 yards. Does anyone have some suggestions on tried and true accurate tips. (something like what is good in 45 ACP? answer H&G 68)

Tips are things one leaves at restaurants. What are you asking?

The projectile that leaves the barrel if it is cast is called a "boolit" in these parts!

I am so sorry that I did not use "Boolit" I started to use it but the spell check for this site flagged it as a misspelled word so I changed it. I am surprised the word "tips" is so strange here all my dealings with the Army Marksman Unit they refer a pile of projectiles as "tips" I was told this is a great site with lots of good information and helpful people so maybe some of them can help me out. Once again I am sorry if I do not know all the "in" words for this forum.

My experience has been that the lighter cast bullets in .32 ACP will not deliver the accuracy you want. Of the production molds the RCBS 32-90CM and Saeco #325 have given me best results. I don't know if you are shooting the Pardini or Beretta. My long barreled Beretta likes .313" bullets. I shoot an 88-grain custom mold with 1.7 grs. of Bullseye and get inch groups at 25 yards.

If you stay, you will see a lot of diverse opinions....... pay heed to your own council here.
Here is what you asked for.... and it is quite accurate.

Can you share your information on the custom mold as it looks like you have saved me lots of time to get me where I want to go. Yes I am shooting a Pardini so I need the bigger diameter.
