That's a semi-wadcutter.

That's a semi-wadcutter.

No it is a full wadcutter. That protrusion on the face of the bullet sticks out 1mm.

When you seat the bullet flush with the case mouth they will still fit in the applicable .32 magazines: Hammerli, Walther, etc.

Check for campro bullets. They have 4 different .32 plated bullets.
I used them for reduced rifle loads.

Bought some Speer .32 Cal Lead HBWC 98 Grain，but I could not find any lube on the bullet，do I have to lube it before reloading or is it good to go out of box？

Most of these type bullets I've seen have a dry lube of some kind. Often graphite very much like a lot of .22rf.

I have a box of the Speer they are coated a dry film of some kind of lube . I shoot them out of the box in my S&w model 16-4

Thanks for the knowledge @vagrantviking @warzaw
New to reloading lead bullets.
I would size it to be .311” diameter before reloading，is the lube film still working after sizing？

 

[warzaw]

My Speer HBWC are already sized at .314 why would you want to size to .311 . Load them out of the box they are already swaged and ready to go.

I am loading for 7.5 Swiss Ordnance 1882, .314 won't seat and chamber properly, I would like to try sizing it to .311 to see if it will seat and chamber properly and produce good accuracy.

They will be fine to use after sizing.

Have you slugged or measured the bore and cylinder mouths? If the grooves are the bigger measurement then hollow based bullets are probably the best bet and sizing to whatever loads best will work fine.
If the mouths are slightly bigger than groove then plain base should work and hopefully you can load them at groove diameter or slightly bigger.

What brass are you using?

New to revolver also。Don't know much about revolver. But I sized other non-HB lead wadcutter to .309 to seat properly and chamber easily（ a little loosen I doubt），and produce around 2-3” 6-shot group at 10 meters I think it is not good enough，so I would like to try sizing this HBWC to .311 to see if the accuracy would improve.
