I just got some boolits in the mail today from a member and could'nt wait to try them out in Grandpaps circa1928 94 winchester in 32 spl. As I had no reloading dies but had some factory loads I pulled the J bullets and dumped the powder ,flaired the mouth slightly ,since I could'nt make it to the range since company was coming over I used one of Beagle's whisper loads to keep the neighbor's calm (2.5 grs of red dot) and the RCBS 170 boolit yielded fantastic results!!!! At 45 yds in the back yard over a tree limb for a rest 10 rds into 1.5":drinks: I wish I would have started shooting real Boolits in this old timer years ago! and I know that mold is on next order to midway! Thanks again for the boolits Pumpguy.5694

Glad they got there and worked out for you!! They were too small and keyholed in my Marlin. Merry Christmas!!!!

Hooah, and Merry Christmas! The 32 Win Spl is dandy. My last and rather recent results at a hunert confirm that it is one of my 'go-to's'. Same boolit - RCBS 32-170-FN.

Yes sir. RCBS 32-170 FP shoots very well in my 1948 Win. m-94 also. Actually is more accurate than my good 30-30 loads. My .32 shoot best @ .323 dia. and 28 gr. of H-4895.
Wheel weights work just fine. What a fun old gun to carry around and shoot casts in!

I've had very decent resulta in the 32 Special and 32-40 with the RCBS 32-170 . Using XMP5744 and earlier with SR4756 and SR7625 .

I also happen to have a Lyman 321297 mould that seems to work great in both caliber rifles [smilie=1: And again with the same three powders !!!!
