That looks like fun! One of these days I'll hunt up my 32 WC mold and give it a lead bath so I can give that a try.

Thumbcocker, what do you have your dewc sized at?

I size to .314 for .32 H&R, .32 long, and .327. .32's tend to multiply one the bug bites. FWIW I was given a large quantity of factory swaged boolits and they are .314.

If I wasn't so brittle I would kick myself several times for the Ruger SSMs that I let go down the road for whatever stupid reason I had at the time! I especially miss the 4-5/8" one. A great cartridge.
Good shooting and I know that it was fun for you, Thumbcocker.

I’m still mad at myself about letting my Buckeye Special Blackhawk combo in 32 H&R/32-20 get away back in the 1990s. While maybe a little large for the 32 S&W and H&R, it handled any 32 easily.

I understand what you mean about for letting a gun go. That is why I do not sell any of my guns because of this reason you stated. Because when you looking back you know you will not find anther one like it for how it was for you. I was offer for some of the ones I have , I tell them I do not sell my guns and they said if I ever do let them know.

I like the WC they do more then some think , I have the mold for a WC in 32 and others cals , they work for me. Just to give ideas , if you size 32 down use them in some of your 30 cal with low charge. I do that with my other 32 cals molds to use in the 30 cals. You get more use , like use the molds for 38/357 use them for 9mm and you can use them for your 380 also . Just size them to fit .

I am not a big wadcutter fan, but the two moulds I do have (Lymans #313492 and #358432) REALLY SHOOT. Both of these came very early in my casting career (c. 1981-82), but both have driven tacks since Day One in a whole lot of wheelguns. Both shoot accurately from 700-1200+ FPS.

Threads like this one usually end up costing me money. I have two perfectly good RCBS 32 cal 98 grain SWC molds that I am currently using for my .32 S&WL and H&R. I really don't need another. But the "I want a 32 WC mold" song starts playing in my head.

One of these days I'll get one. Or find a couple thousand discontinued Hornady for next to nothing.

The mold is the Arsenal 98 grain wadcutter. I got the 4 cavity. It casts very well.

I forgot the "Never whine at an Enabler's R Us convention" rule. One of these years I'll get one.

Fortunately my current .25 ACP rifle project is occupying most of my attention right now. What I can spare from the new cabin anyway.
