.32 cal RB Mold?

[bluecarpenter]

I can't seem to find a .32 cal round ball mold in .310 either it is over or under. did find a .311 cal rb mold. will that work? using that with a patch. I like to make my own. I've also heard that certain size buckshot will work but not sure what size that is.
I think that I've located a .32 cal rifle. won't know till sometime on monday. It is a traditions. (new).

I've been using a Lee .311 mold. No sweat in either a Traditions Crockett or a GM barrel on a TC Hawken. While I'm not wild about aluminum blocks, it's sure hard to beat the price at around $20. RCBS doesn't list 32 cal, and at $75-$115 for their other RB molds, it's just as well. No listing for Lyman .310's either.

check out muzzleloader builders supply.

they have lee moulds in .308 & .310. and maybe a little bigger.

i asked the same question a few days earlier after getting a used dixie .32 tenn rifle.

check the topics the answers aren't too far back.

It's either #1 or #0 buckshot that's used in a .32 cal. The .311 mould from Lee comes in a double mould and will serve you well for years. All for under $20!

000 Buckshot is .350" & 00 is .330". I use both of them in a couple of different handguns.

anybody know the gr. weight of the .311 ball is. I did find a place online that gave all the different weights of buckshot. and it is #1 buckshot for .32 cal. it is 40gr on #1 buckshot for weight. dia. is .300 I think. mark
