Years ago I had a .30 Mauser Broomhandle and bought a bunch (~500) of ~93 gr .309" (no GC) lead bullets for it, but when I got married I sold my broom handle and 1911 with the 16" Herters Barrel and shoulder stock kit, for Honeymoon money. I miss that 1911.
Some 45 years later I thought, why not try these 93 grers in my Krag and Ruger 77? I also had several pounds of 700X left over from my trap shooting days in a bit of research I found that this was compatible and did some experiments to see how it would work.
The Krag wasn't so good but the 77 seemed to shoot them pretty well (under 4"@100) with no more than ~9 gr of 700x. More than that scattered them at 100 yds. Not sure if I shot them at 50 yds, maybe? It's been a while since I did this and have lost my log book.
Anyway I was thinking about duplicating this when the Covid eases up and the range opens again. (Cali is closed to almost everything now.) I think using these at 50 yds might be good to use my Old multifired brass and 700x up. Then I wondered if I had enough boolets and realized that my Krag likes fatter boolets, .310's at least. It has a new Critierion barrel so it's not a Springfield Who knows dia? bore.
A quick look at Lees moulds and realized the .32 pistol boolets might just fill the nitch. Lee advertizes that you don't need to size their boolets 'cause they come out of the mould good enough, and .312" would just about do it, even in the .308, maybe. No GC and just LLA a couple of coats and volia! Boolets! And the .312" boolets may not need the brass resized! How lazy shooters shoot!
Then I thought (always dangerous) what if I just bought .32 ACP boolets? No casting, just LLA for luck, no sizing, or GCs, no wasting good alloy for Mouse farting!
A quick calculation 4 Lb of 700X will yield over 3,000 rounds of easy shooting! Heck if I use my steel pistol target, I won't even need to go down to replace the targets!
I think I have a plan!
