Intrest in 32 cal molds

[6pt-sika]

Ranch Dog worked me up a design of his type for a .323" FN GC mold of about 165 grains .

Is anyone intrested in a mold for the 32-40 or 32 Speciel ?

I am currently runing a 8mm group buy that was designed with the intent to be able to be used in 8mm's and 32's in lever guns. You might want to take a look.

6pt, I'm definitely interested if its a 6 banger. Go through those things really fast.

Could you post a drawing of that? I've ordered the 185 gr 8mm/32, but a dedicated 6 banger .32 mould at about 165 gr would really be nice.

I don't have a drawing
But the design is the same as his other molds. Also I am not planning on 6 holes . Was more intrested in a two holer

I'm not at all interested in a two cavity Lee mould.

From a personal standpoint, I am completely happy with the RCBS 170FN, which goes about 178 grains with my alloy. I have no need for another bullet in the 165-185 grain class. I've found mine and have all the production I need with the RCBS two cavity.

However, I really would like to see a light-weight plinker for the .32 Special... similar to the Lee soup can for the 30-30. A .323 Flat nose gas check at 115 to 130 grains...preferrably in a six cavity but would go for a two cavity also.

Between the Lyman 323470, the Lee 170, RCBS, the current group buy, and the Oldfeller bullets from MidSouth we already have a pretty good range of .32/8mm bullets between 165 and 250 grains. Whats sorely lacking are the lighter weight bullets.

That would stir my interest.

I to have the RCBS 32-170 and used it succesfully in the 32-40 and 32 Speciel.Also have a Lyman 321297 , Lyman 319247 , Ideal Perfection adjustable and an old Winchester for the 32 Speciel . And they are all 165 -185 . Well the adjustable will go over 200 . But I'd still like one of RD's designs in a 32 cal FN GC of about 150-160 .
I have two of the 6 banger's and they do alright . But I like the two bangers more

I've gone back and evaluated my "inventory" of molds in 32 cal . And like you I seem to have plenty in the 165-185 range. Still I would like to have a FP , GC mold that would cast 150 grainers . I want this bullet to be acceptable for deer . Also I am quite satisfied with the two hole molds. However if I can get a decent 32 cal of 150 grains in RD's design , later on I would most likely be up for one in the 125 range .

I haven't had a chance to check the board in a couple of weeks...so sorry to be late in responding. Can't believe the amount of posts on this board in that relatively short period of time...board has really taken off in the past year.

Not too many responding on this one so am guessing response would be pretty limited on either a 125 or 150 grain for the .32. I hadn't reallly considered one in the 150gr. class but it would add some versatility to the caliber (more so than a 165gr. would for me) so even though would prefer the 125 here, if enough interest is hold down the tooling costs on a 150 gr. buy, you can count me in.

It strikes me that 150gr. might be a bit too long for the Lee two-cavity block. It might be necessary to see what the heaviest bullet the double cavity could be produced in for the .32 ...if a double cavity is a prerequisite on your part. Others on this board could likely easily answer that question. Quality, not production, is why my choice would rest with the 6-cavity. I don't need 6 cavity production for a rifle. However, with a little bit of tuning, I have yet to find a single or double cavity that won't produce good bullets...so would consider a single also if that's the choice to be made.

I've pretty much given up on the idea of a group buy for the 32 cal 150 grain . So I have been thinking of getting one from Mountain Molds . Probably in brass or iron. I also may have them make me a 7mm 120 grain mold as well.
