They came in, all those times I looked by the backdoor and finally they arrived, I got a few test castings made and measured, the dia. runs .3132 on the front band to .3135 on the rear band. I talked with 452.1 and I think they are good to go. I will publish purty pictures of bullets tonight, We should barring anything unforseen get them mailed Saturday.

The test run went peachy, the bullets dropped from the mold like butter, I can't say enough about how much I like it so far :-). I have not had a chance to load any up and shoot them yet.

Great news ! I will start warming up the pot. It's just about time to load up another big batch of 32-20. What alloy were you using for your test casting ?

Willbird

I used straight WW first, and then added a bit of tin.

The weight came out to 118.5 grains.

Now I just need to find an M1 carbine ! I bought the mold even though I don't have the gun yet.

In the meantime, maybe I'll use this for a practice '06 bullet ?

Bill,
Mine came in the afternoon mail. Cheered me up from the Wilma mess going through this morning. Hope to be able to fire up the lead pot as soon as the skies clear up a little and I get the back yard picked up some. Thanks to you and the Mrs. for the fine job you did running this mold. It looks like a beaut!

We want to say your all very welcome, the Director of Finance is very good at organising things, and she enjoys doing it. I will say that after packaging and addressing 57 molds we were seeing double :-)

Got a big pile of bullets from the 314 mold. They really pile up quick with the six holer. Took a picture but my computer skills are not good. Says my file is too big. Does that mean I've too many boolits in the picture? Ho Ho, it was fun. Cast from my particular brand of wheelweights the sizes are running .314 to .3145- I'm a happy camper.

Got to try mine out this afternoon. Drops bullets much easier than the 6 cavity 311440 that I cast with last Sat. With ACWW mine ran .315 on 5 cavaties and one larger one at .320. Average weight was 121 gr. Now to get some loaded.

Got mine earlier this week and plan to put it too use after getting caught up with big stuff, like 540 gr 45-70's and 335 gr 38-55's. Looks like a great bullet and think it will do good with black powder. Thanks to Willbird

Willbird,
Is this the .32 SWC for a .32 magnum group buy?
If so then I DO WANT one,and in a PM I'd like to get your mailing adress.
Thank you,

These are extra molds from a past group buy, it is a 120 grain round flat plain base.

This bullet is very similar to the Saeco 322 and the Lyman 311008. I have one and it shoots well in my .32-20 and in my .32 mag revolvers. The SWC group buy is underway. Check the group buy threads and you will find it.

HTH,
Doc
