.32 moulds

[hansloder]

I have a .32 cal ball mold on its way to me(.311) but today came across an actual .32 caliber bullet mold. Question: is anybody using the bullet mold with better success (accuracy) than the round ball?

I think you will be very impressed with the accuracy of the patched round ball. In that caliber, the benefits of a greased bullet would probably be small.

What are you shooting them in and what is the rifling twist?

Without more info I would side with Boolitcaster though.

.32 cal small wheelgun, which is not that accurate to begin with considering the 3" barrel.

What does your bore measure at?

A .311 ball sounds too small for a 32 revolver. A .311 ball would normally be patched up to .320 in a squirrel rifle. That is why I assumed you were cloth patching the .311 ball in a 32 rifle.

Most 32 revolvers shoot a ball or bullet slightly over sized for the bore. If you have been using .311 balls in that pistol, I think we may have found the root of your accuracy problems.

I have the Saeco mold for the .32 Semi-wadcutter (85gr) and the Saeco 120 grain flat point, both are very accurate if you match diameter with bore size. I would think that they would be much more accurate and effective then a round ball.
