I recently purchased a browning model 53 chambered in 32-20, I found this bullet made by mp-molds, on his website says to be a 115gr. Hp or 120gr. Solid it is the 314-640 design. But I could not find any information about crimp groove to meplat length or diameter ahead of crimp groove some digging on this website and others turns up no mention of it’s use in 92 pattern 32-20 rifles or carbines only for sixguns chambered in 32 h&r or 327 federal. Would like to know if any of y’all are shooting this bullet especially in said rifle and caliber and if so how it performsas far as accuracy,feeding,function etc.?

I have used the 100 grain HP version extensively in my Browning 53 with complete satisfaction, but do not have the heavier version. I do have several other 640 designs in calibers ranging from 32 ACP to 45 ACP and have had excellent service from all of them.

Thank you, Sir.
I have an old Ideal 3118 that works good crimped under the front driving band in the top lube groove and kept below 1200 fps. Loaded that way it just touches the lands in front of the front driving band. After seeing this mold on his website I was daydreaming of all the possibilities so I thought I would ask on here.
