Question for the cast bullet users who shoot the 32-40: what molds are there available that feature bullets which can be gas checked? Thank you!
32-40 GC bullet molds?

Because most folks use BP or at least light loads, and many breachseat the bullets, soft, plain base bullets are the rule. Your best bet is one of the many 8mm molds that are GC, it will also ensure that the bullet will be big enough for your bore, it's .323" vs .321" or so.
RCBS does however make a 170 gr. flat point GC mold for the .32s, which hopefully will drop large enough for your barrel...Ben

Where can one purchase the 8mm moulds, that sounds just like what I need, and if I can hijack this a little can you use gas check bullets without the gas check

Thanks Ben!
The idea of using a mold for the gc and then not using a GC kinda escapes me, I would not do it because I prefer to err on the side of accuracy. I've heard it works if you keep velocity and pressure down, velocities of up to 1200fps max. I more accurate approach would be to buy a mold that is not gc'd, or have your neighborhood machinist remove the GC from the mold, any machinist trained in N. A. or Britain could do it.
