32 cal wadcutters

A group of us used to order our HBWC in 32 cal from a fellow in Ontario ........ R&R Bullets, Maitland Ontario. You could see if he still sells them. I since switched over to 38 spl and now use either Hornady or BDX HBWC for. my reloading.
Ordered a bunch from him some years ago. He swaged the hollow base on to them. They were good but he quit by the time I tried to reorder.
Feeding an 80's vintage GSP. Nice because I have the brass catcher that attaches to the mag. Yahoo!
You wouldn't be able to pour lead with gascheck in place, it would cover the hole at the top (unless mould is a top-pour design, which is not something you see often).
You insert the gas check facing up in one of the lube grooves and pour as normal. You can see the bullet shape very clearly and with that mold there are several lube grooves from which to choose. Since that mold is for a gas check bullet, the front is "semi-wadcutter". A plain base bullet mold would create a "full-wadcutter".
"diopter's" idea is just that you have the gas check facing down instead. If the gas check was clean (use a bit of solder flux) I imagne it would stick well enough to remain attached to the bullet after firing. I find that gas checks used as I do remain as I have recovered several from the berm. They cut perfectly round holes in the paper of course.
