Was just wondering if any of you have used this one in a 32 Win Spl ? Looking at the dim's on Midsouth it does look like it would . Curious is all :) .

Fat body and nose even for an 8mm. It was meant for worn military 8mms. If it fits in a 32 Spl, that rifle is very worn.

I take it that you would not try to size that one down any then ? Nice looking chunk of lead tho :)

Try it and find out whether it fits or not. Thats the best way. You'll probably have trouble with the nose though.

Now the big question is does anyone have this mould and could I get a few to try out ?

Main reason is when I was checking a fartory load for the 32 WS it looked like the bullit was around 1.1" long and the Karabiner is 1.11" long , the bore on my 32 came out at .320 and the mould I have I size at .323 and shoots OK for a PB boolit , but the Kara is has a GC on it and I might be able to get upto 2000 FPS out of it if the nose will work in the chamber .

Just brain gears crunching at this time . :)

Icer, if the nose doesn't fit, you can probly size it down separately if you're careful.
