I have used this bullet cast in WW with a GC, sized to .323 in my .32 carbine, but have loaded single at a time. Has anyone on here used them in a tube feed rifle? The bullet tip isn't real pointy, but neither is it flat point like any .30 cal intended for tube feed.

I took a nice old 94 .32 rifle out last evening and fired off 10 Remington factory rounds, but would like to be able to load them into the tube. The rifle is a 1918 with a nice peep sight. I was hitting the 7"x10" gong at 100 yards, provided I wasn't wobbling too badly.

I would appreciate hearing about your experience.

Thanks
 
I use that bullet in my BRNO with good results. If you look at a listing of Lee moulds you will find almost all of the nose profiles are the same. I use the 160 and 180 in my 94 Winchester with no problems. Lee bullets are basically the same design. Your good to go with round nose in a tube magazine.
 
Okay. I figured it would be fine. I have a nice Lee flat nose for 30-30, and use it often. .32 isn't a super duper magnum, so recoil shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you!
 
I've never had issues with RN bullets in tube mags. Even hot .45-70 loads are no problem. Infact the 170 partition made for the .30-30 is RN. I've fired a few mags of them as well with no issues.
 
I use the same lee bullet in my Winchester 94 in 32/40. She has a 26 inch barrel and holds 8 rounds and I have had no issues at all firing off a full tube.
