You might look at 8mm moulds.  Might have to put up with a gascheck rebate

I think I might have a mould that will be good medicine for you. I'll look.

Thank you for your replies,the 32 Remington is more or less a 32 Winchester without the rimmed case. The 32 Rem. bullet is listed at .321 diameter,the 8mm is listed at 323,issible to shoot this? Sorry if this is a dumb question---1Longbow

Generally, the less sizing the better.  There are good .32 moulds available from lyman or RCBS.  You suggested round nose.  That means sizing 'em down or look around some of the other mould makers.  To answer your question, lead bullets are tolerant about being oversize a bit, as long as they will load & chamber.  .323  vs. .321?  That os only.002.  Not much difference in cast bullet terms.  It is often recommended to size your cast bullets .001 over groove diameter.

Were I to cast for the 32 Remington I'd look for Lyman moulds 3215,321232,321265,321297,321298,321317 or 321427.
Those are listed in the Lyman cast Bullet Handbook.

Howdy,
Cabela's in Michigan had a Model 14 in .32 Remington for a while. I investugated moulds and found that Lee makes a 170-grain gas-checked round-nose that would work pretty well. There are Lyman RN's designed for the Remington, but I would put those in the "Collector Mould" category. I'm just not sure if it is worth paying more for an original, than to have a custom mould cut.
Keep checking eBay and be patient, or try the Lee.
