Does anyone know of any company producing a Keith style mold for .32 H & R mag?
Thanks in advance for any info.

Saeco mould #325 is a Keith Style 95 gr SWC. Saeco moulds are pricy but good. Ed Harris, former NRA Tech Editor, is a fan of .32's and is partial to this mould:

Personally, I got in on the Group Buy 100 gr Keith SWC from this forum (six cavity custom mould by Lee) and am extremely happy with it's performance in several of my .32's:

This was shot with my 16-4 S&W (6" barrel) with a Simmons Red Dot sight, standing at 25 yards on the timed fire target. My load was .32 S&W Long cases, a CCI small pistol primer and 2.8 of Win 231. That is just a good target load but it should also work just fine for edible small game.

I have shot a number of wabbits with a revolver but have not yet shot one with this particular bullet. However, the .32's sure do a good job with a wadcutter on wabbits and I have no reason to doubt that this one would work as well.

FLASH!! We have a group buy on this forum that has just what you want. This buy closes in just a couple of days. However, if you JUMP on it, you can still get in

P.S. I just about forgot about the VERY nice RCBS 98 gr Keith Style plain base bullet:

I can personally state that the RCBS is a dandy. One thing nice about it, it has most of the bullet weight outside the case giving LOTS of case capacity if you want to explore magnum velocities in a strong revolver (like the Ruger Single Six, the SP 101 or S&W 16-4). Midsouth has these in a two cavity mold at an attractive price:

I've opened up a Lyman 311376 (?) to cast .317, size them to .315. 120 grain RNGC, hollow pointed. My barrel is .314. I know this isn't exactly an answer to your question, but it is one answer.
