I need a mold for .32-20. I acquired a pristine Colt Army Special, 6", .32-20 that has slightly large throats of .3145" (and a .3135" groove diameter). I'd like to find something 115gr., give or take, that drops bullets .315 or at least big enough to give a push fit in my throats, out of a relatively soft tin/lead alloy. Thanks!
I have an original Winchester ( made by Win ) mold for the 32-20 bullet. Mold marked 32 WCF. . This is an early mold in great shape. I would assume being that it is early, it is of appropriate dia. I did cast a bullet in it ( works perfect ) three days ago. I never measured dia as it dropped from the mold. Will be tomorrow before I can get to it.
I went & looked now & found the mold & bullet. It was cast from pure lead & measures.311. A bit shy of the .315 your looking for.

Thanks for the attention, Dom. Like you said it would be too small for my application. Thanks anyway!
I have an rcbs 98 swc that casts .316 trade ya for a Pope 33 mold.
call or text me

Would recommend a mold from Accurate to drop your desired diameter as-cast from your alloy. Tom has several designs optimized for .32-20, the 31-105T is mine I use in .32 S&W Long and .32-20.
The ENEMY is listening.
HE wants to know what YOU know.
Keep it to yourself.
I have a extra 31108 mold..................
