View Full Version : Accurate mold 32-195D for 32 Win Special

I have intentions of getting a heavy bullet mold for my 32 WS. I want something a bit heavier than the 170gr rcbs I am using at the moment. I'm thinking the 32-195D will be just what the doctor ordered for lever action silhouette. The problem is that I can't find any loading data in that weight for the 32 WS. Is there someone out there that has possible loaded the 32 WS with that weight bullet?

Any information that might be able to help with my dilemma would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Bob.

Since the normal twist rate for a 32 WS is 1:16, the standard bullet is right at the limit of stability. Going any longer may pose some accuracy issues, I would try to get a sample of those bullets to try before buying a mold.

I shot a 32WS in levergun silhouette for years. The 170gr at 1800 fps is plenty, I never left a ram standing if I managed to hit it.
