Picked up a Turk Mauser the other day and wanted to try some Cast boolits in it.
As I have really enjoyed powder coating my boolits, I decided to order a mold special made for powder coating.
Using the #32-175M as a basis, I had them make it plain base, with no lube grooves.
Left the crimp groove in. It came today and I am extremely happy with it.
Side benefit is the way these smooth sided boolits just fall out of the mold.
Still waiting on the sizing dies, so will start loading them soon.

Very very cool ! I'd like to try them in my Grandfather's Winchester 92' in 32win spl. Tom sure does nice work.

They look ideal. Is the nose wide enough to just/partially be engraved by the lands? There is much more surface contact in that one big drive band now…what powder are you using to start and how do you intend to work up to your load?

That looks like one of the best ideas I've seen lately…OS OK

Nose is .310, haven't loaded any yet to see how it chambers.
Waiting on a few push through sizing dies from NOE then I will be starting to load them.
I plan on starting out by trying 5744 for powder.
My plans are to load for the Turk for now, hoping to land a good scoped rifle by fall for whitetail.

Don't put those in a bowl at the ladies' bridge club meeting. They'll be inhaled.
