I received these from a neighbor and for the life of me I cannot figure out cartridge what they are for. The measure .320 with the micrometer and weigh 187gr. I tested them on my cabintree hardness tester and they are a hardness of 9 or 30-1 alloy. Thanks for your help and input. Sorry for the goofy pic, I tried and tried to get it rotated and larger to no avail.

Possibly a bullet for the 32-40. 30-1 used to be one of the popular alloy for the black powder rounds also. Might also work for 32 wcf.

That looks like a Paul Jones mould bullet.

Looks to be either a Ideal/Lyman 321232 Listed @ 170 grains or 319162 Listed @ 185 grains
The 321232 does seem to have that large base band
Seem to be for 32-40 or 32 Winchester special

Looks like an Ideal 321232 to me too but that is listed at 170gr

Thanks for the info, I agree it is looks like a 321232. Now I guess I need to look for a rifle to use these in. I hate it when I have to buy a new tool, I certainly cant just let theses wonderful boolits just sit on the shelf.
