looks like an old winchester mold for the 3220 you might want to post this on the cast bullet forum rather then the swadging forum you will probalby get better results.

thompsonjoe,

Nice old mold!  UMC (Union Metallic Cartridge) Company was located in New Haven CT.  Became REM-UMC  in 1911 which would suggest that your mold was made before then.

The bullet is for the .32 Colt Long Central Fire.  It is a heeled bullet weighing about 90 grs.   I have some U.M.C. .32 L C F headstamped cartridges that I reload for my 1892 Marlin rifle.
