Anybody on here,have good luck with this mold?it doesnt shoot well for me,,and im either going to trade it off,or mill .070 off the base,then it will be about 115 gr.
Its 131 as is,,shot it in 327 and 32mag,,,terrible in the ruger ss 32 mag,,i mean horrible,6 inch patterns...its a beutiful running 5 cavity,and the bullets are so shiney,and perfect bands and grooves,

Elmer Keith never designed his bullet for a 32 caliber………..that could be the problem!

sometimes you get a mould that doesn't work; happened to me with an NOE modeled after a H&G 51. No matter what I did just didn't work.

I went with the lyman clone 100 grain cut to 312 powder coating works for my 32-20 and for a 32 for a friend , cut with plain base .

Sometimes a mold does not work , weight , twist , load , I had a 32 h&r mag. ruger single six years ago that never shot worth a hoot for me , down the road it went as I gave up on it .

I wonder ... are you sizing those bullets and are they too small to seal off the high pressure gases? (Too small seems to be the most common cause of bullet tumbling.)

I size .3145,,,matter of fact,my 311316 is max .3115 ,and i run them threw my .314,,and they rattle down the barrell,,and give me beautiful groups,@1300f.p.s.,,
These guns have a mind of there own.

Keep the mould ... you haven't found the right gun ... it may take trying out two or three but ...
... you have to do what you have to do .

And remember ...never pass up a great excuse to acquire another firearm .
