Trying to find bullets for .32 ACP. Factory is usually 60-grain or 71-grain. All out everywhere, if they aren't flat-out discontinued by the mfg.
Bear Creek makes an 80-gr cast moly-coated .311 dia RN, which I have. No loading data for them, though.
Berry's makes a 71-gr plated RN, but is sold out, naturally.
I'd even go for the Lyman 311252 2-cav mold, if I could find one.
But I'm hankering for some standard FMJ or jacketed soft point bullets. The Speer 60-gr Gold Dot looks nice, but I can't find them as bullets for reloading.
Have any of you swagers ever gone to the trouble of making tiny .32 ACP jacketed bullets?
What would you start with for the jacket? What core would you use? What die would you use?
Kind of a longshot, but I thought I'd ask.
Having made 240-gr .44 Mag slugs from .40S&W brass and a 175-grain cast bullet core fairly easily by jamming the cores and annealed brass into a 7x57mm Mauser sizer die, perhaps there's an equally simply way to make .32ACP bullets?
