It’s a good mold. Designed to just fit in the S7 327 Rugers and it does just fit as long as you seat firmly into the crimp groove, leave them at all long and they my stick out of your gun.
My only issue with the bullet is with the large hollowpoint, the main reason I got the mold, my RCBS bullet seater will sewage the nose in making a smaller hollow point if the lead is at all soft. The issue goes back to the nose clearance being snug in that when the nose swages down the length of the nose grows and sometimes make the nose too long to keep from protruding from the end of the cylinder.
A harder alloy certainly reduces the issue but then reduces the expansion on game as well (generally I see ground squirrels and other vermin being the main targets so soft is good). I would like to know how to get a bullet seater that doesn’t deform the nose with softer alloys.

Bill, take a 7/8's by 14 bolt that will thread into your press & run it down so you can just bump that HP a bit to shorten the length enough that they will fit.

I would like to know how to get a bullet seater that doesn’t deform the nose with softer alloys. The answer is the use you put your alloy to. A dead soft alloy ( 50% WW and 50% pure lead water dropped (19 BHN) usually expands immediately as does the air cooled version (8 BHN) if your muzzle velocity is over 1,200 fps (It's harder, but doesn't show it on expansion) You can always draw that temper down lower (somewhere around 10 to 14) so it will do the same thing at lower velocities. This type of use used to be shown on forums quite a bit, but those forums have changed. LBT had an excellent manual detailing the basics.
What can I say, I use that mold and it's heavier 135 gr. HP cousin in same point of impact/different velocity loads in a 303 British rifle. Works quite well. |

Does this bullet work in the 32h&r single six.

Does this bullet work in the 32h&r single six. All day, the 32 mag Single Six actually will take quite a bit longer nosed bullet than the S7 does in 327 brass. I keep intending to try it in one of my S6 32 mags but haven’t gotten around to it. |

I just bought a SSM 9-1/2" 32H&R for my son. I've got dies, but need to order a mold, get some brass somewhere, etc..
The joy of getting a new chambering.

Thank you all very much for the answers...I need another mold like I need another hole in my head but like the looks of this bullet. My main .32 mold is the Accurate 31-120S but limited to solids...
