    Mold advice for a Marlin 1894 CB 32 H&R

    I am looking for advice on molds that will function through the action of a Marlin 1894 CB in 32 H&R Magnum. I currently own an MP 315-640 which cast HP bullets at 118gr and solids at 123gr. I would like a mold in the 95-100gr range. I also own and load for a Ruger Single Six Bisley in 32 H&R. Thank you for your input.

    Alan, Nice combo. I sold my Marlin 1894 Cowboy 32 h&r. Kinda miss it, but it was a safe queen and heavy for what it was. If they would have lightened the barrel considerably, it wouldve been an awesome woods rifle for plinking and small game. Sold the 327 single ten first( before the 1894) then recently bought a Single six magnum 32 h&r since I still had molds and brass.

    MP made a 100/105 314-640 grain along with the 110/115 grain 314-640. I have both. Look on MP website. Prices are reasonable if in stock. Might still be a little heavier than you want, but 5 or 10 grains isn't much

    This is a near copy of the RCBS 98 swc which should feed in a lever. It works great in a handgun.

    Ranch Dog made a series of molds for the Marlin "fat throat" chambers. Find one of those in caliber .32 and you will have a good one.
    No I do not have one in that caliber.

    My Marlin 32 H&R gets a steady diet of the old Lyman 311008 or 31133HP but also likes the RCBS 98 gr SWC. Had a lot of fun shooting this gun and a few critters have fallen to it.

    A common recommendation is the RCBS 98 gr SWC. Another good one I hear us the Saeco #325.
