Re: .32 Remington cast bullet, Ideal #321317
I like this mould, but take a look at the #32-175T on this site. Pope style bands, tapered, not gas checked,(expensive) this configuration should provide excellent accuracy with a serious wallop when loaded to velocities that minimize bore leading.
Sadly Lee doesn't make any close to .320.
