32 caliber mold???
« on: January 03, 2004, 10:55:46 AM »
Anyone know of a .313 mold for the .32 caliber Rugers?  Lee makes a .311 in 6-gang (like getting six with one pour) and they also have a .314 but it is tumble lubed.  Lyman has a 2-cavity one--that would take forever.
Just wondering if anything else is out there.

Thanks,
Cheyenne R.

Veral Smith of LBT an advertiser here on this site makes his molds for this caliber. I know you can get four cavity molds from him. Dunno if in a caliber this small he can or will cut more or not. Drop by the Ask Veral Forum and post a query to him on the subject or look over his catalog in the first post on the forum.

rcbs makes a good 2 cavity 105swc You may also want to contact ballistic cast as there suppose to be making all the old h&g designs again and i  have a 4 cavity 115swcpb that shoots real well also a ballistic cast 98 grain swcpb and a 120swcgc. Also Dan at mountain molds can no doubt make you one. Also as mentioned lbt molds are good molds. I also have a lyman and a saeco the lyman is a discontinued 100swcgc and the saeco is a 100swcpbthat i think is still available. I could never get the tumble lube molds to shoot in my .32s

Cheyenne  Ranger,

Lyman's 311008 might still be available in a 4 cavity mold.  I have a 2 cavity version that drops bullets at .313-.314 in wheelweight alloy.

With regards to the Lee tumble lube bullet, that should  also work just fine with a lubrisizer.  

Good luck,

I use the Lee 6 cavity 314-90 SWC-TL, works fine and really cranks them out.  This is the most used bullet in my two .32 H&Rs, an original single Six and a TContender barrel.  It is also the favored bullet for a S&W M31 .32 SWL.  Of course I also shoot these bullets in all my .30-.31 cal rifles.

I have the Lyman 2 cavity 105 SWC GC mould designed for the .32 H&R.  I use these for any high performance .32 loads and shoot quite a few in my M1 Carbine.  The two cavity mould works ok as I generally keep 2-3 moulds going when casting with single or double cavity moulds.

The 98 grain SWC mold from RCBS makes a really nice bullet that has been quite accurate in my Single Six.

The Lyman bullet is a good one. If you buy two moulds you'll find you can dump and fill them as fast as you can work at 700 degrees. Not near as slow as one would think. I use a 2 cavity L-311008 and a 2 cavity Magma 32-20, 115 gr. RNFP together and there is no waiting.

Did some snooping and found that the Meister Bullets for the .32 are in fact .3115 as are the bullets from the Lee mold.  When I tried to seat a .313 bullet in my SDB the top of the bullet was marked by the force needed to seat it.  I'm thinking that I'll give the .311's a try (acutally tonight--might not shoot much USPSA but will send 100 rounds of .32 down range; 50 per gun)

I use the 113Gr Lee gas check bullet in my 32.  The bullet is made for 32-20 and casts at 313 and is super accurate in my Ruger Bisley.

I'm using Lee 314-85-WC. Casts at .315 from WW for me.  Lee has a couple of six shooters on their surplus page at $25. It's a TL design but works through a lubrisizer if you insist and size in a fairly warm place.

Might not be exactly what you had in mind, but at $25 it'd be hard to resist.

Lyman #311316 is a 112 gr gas check bullet, that casts .312-.313. It is very accurate. If your gun wants to lead, the gas check will keep the leading down and the accuracy will improve. In my 32 H+R Mag., Contender barrel, it will group under 3/4", at 100 yds.

With the Lyman #311316, I use 3.4 gr. of Red Dot (the old Red Dot, I have not tried the new Red Dot yet) CCI 500 primer. The velecity is 1050 fps. (sub-sonic) I developed this load for IHMSA field pistol. I have a 3-9 rifle scope on this barrel. The recoil is barely more then a 22LR.   8)

I use Lyman 311316 4 cavity made in the 70's or so, with good luck and have shot friend's 32 from a SAECO 4 cavity that shot well also.  They both drop WW at near .314.   I believe the SAECO # is 322 and is stock item for SAECO
