It's been my go to mold for any 32-40 or 32 SP I own with good results.
Where's the Kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth shattering Kaboom.

win. 94 lever is hard to close because bullet nose is being forced into the rifling
Works great in 336 Marlin PC'd so a little fatter than right out of the mold

what is the nose dia. of one of your bullets
Seat the bullet deeper! I have had a similar problem with several lever actions.
I do get a little "crunch" when closing the bolt, but the accuracy is great with the loads I use so I've never changed. I'm looking at a similar profile bullet for 30 caliber as I want to get similar results from my 1895s and 94s in 30-30 and 30-40.

i would seat the boolit a bit deeper as already mentioned...
Any technology not understood, can seem like Magic!!!
I will love the Lord with all my heart, all my soul, and all my mind.
I have several 32 specials.some are hard to close on this bullet.to fix this problem just trim your brass until you get a good fit.i like to push the bullet into the rifiling while still having the lever close easily.once you get the trim length for your gun you are good.
To answer your initial question, yes. I use this design in both a marlin .32 special and a zastava 7.92 x 57 with good accuracy in both. I’m out of town at the moment, but will mike the boolit and give its dimensions (with the alloy I use) tomorrow evening.

The boolit is measuring .3155” on “nose” and .324” on driving bands and .302” on gc shank.
