I would cast a vote for GunBroker "Completed Auctions," but with the caveat that you need to be looked only at those that were actually sold. That will give you a good idea as to what folks are...
I am fairly new to the 32 cal game, but I have been doing a fair amount of testing of bullets and loads ( see thread 32 Long Load Request) at this point, my vote would also have to go to the RCBS...
I have used that very phrase on numerous occasions! And it seems to become truer with each passing year! But I have a mission I need to stick around a bit for. Namely one hole groups from my 32's....
I can certainly relate to the age comment!
"It aint easy being old" :wink:
It does seem a bit odd. I have been told that earlier S&W 32's had smaller throats, but not owning any yet, I don't know. That said, I have found that a lot of the 32 molds I have played with drop...

Any sizing dies and/or punches with it?
I was surprised, and a bit disapointed when I checked the throats on the 16-3. Surprised that they seemed consistent and disapointed that they weren't 312 to 313. This was due to the number of...
Green One,
The lube was Javalina, basically the NRA Alox/Beeswax mix. I should note that WW's are sort of my go to bullet metal, but in this case I am hoping to find something softer in the hopes...
Well guys, I finally got out to try the loads I have been sitting on for way too long! Kudos to Engineer401 for donating the RCBS 98gr SWC's, The Arsenal 90gr SWC, and the Lee 85gr RN bullets, and...
Froggie,
Not wanting it to die either. There has been a lot of good information given here by a lot of folks! As soon as life stops getting in my way, I intend to start putting up the results of...
I am thinking that I probably came to the table even later than you did, but I am certainly enjoying the journey at this point! It has sort of reinstated my interest in casting, loading, and if the...
Froggie,
I am aware the group buy is a modern construct, based, as I understand it on a mold designed by Glen Fryxel. Like I said, I am a fan of Keith styled bullets. Things with big meplats, but...

Would you please keep me posted on how that bullet works for you with the 32 Long cartridge? I have been a fan of Keith style bullets for a few decades, and that bullet is one that I have...
Wayne,
I really appreciate your offer! A question, which mold were you referring to? I know Froggie has a 313445, that he likes a bunch, and I am thinking that is the one you are referring to? ...
Just FWIW, a while back, John Taffin did an article on the S&W Model of 1988 (45 ACP/AR) He used a load o 8.0grs of Herco, and a 250gr bullet. It chrono'ed it over 1000. I have used that load with...

1_Ogre,
A long long time ago in a place far, far away, when I was much younger and shooting PPC competitively, I made, and shot hundreds of those with a load very similar to yours. Still have my...
While I am nostalgic enough to dream about having the originals, I am realistic enough to know that modern molds are held to tighter tolerances, and potentially more accurate. From what I am seeing,...
It does sound like you have a bit of a love affair with the 32 bore! The 313292 is certainly and interesting bullet! It definitely should give more powder space than a type 1 or 2, for sure. The...
Sadly, no on the paper work. Didn't even have the official Smith and Wesson screw driver! :shock: I just now scored a 3118! Any pet data you might have for that would be greatly appreciated!
...
Finally!

The 313445 is one I find fascinating. I hope to find one someday. I did score the RCBS 32-98 from a vary generous member here, along with some different test bullets...
Froggie,
Got it yesterday! Have pics, but haven't been able to upload them!

Any idea what Miha's mold designation was on this? I would love to have one of these!!
Keep me posted on your results with the NOE bullet! That one interests me too!!
