Re: 32-40 bullet ?

For what it is worth, my marlin 93 32-40 would not shoot worth a hoot. TILL i cast a boolet, 8mm lee mould, sized the boolet .325 and bingo. the 32-40 generally had a .321 bore, but the throat is usually larger and the boolet needs to be sized to fit the throat. hope this helps. good luck
