Hi Scott,
I use the RCBS 170gr GC bullet in my 94. For Cowboy Silhouette I load it with 19.5gr of 4227 and it has worked quite well.

Re: 32 special cast boolits
And here's where you can buy one: http://www.grafs.com/product/195925
I'd use wheel weights (get em while you still can - if you still can!). I prefer Lee's sizing dies too - they seat the gas check and size with the ram pushing from the bottom - the best design going IMHO. They even give you a bottle of their excellent Lee Liquid Alox lube. This stuff is excellent - I shoot cast bullets at 2000 fps from several rifles with no leading and great accuracy.

Hi Scott-
I've been using the RCBS 32-170-FN GC, cast of wheel weights with a little tin in my '93 Marlin. For deer, I've used about 29 grains of H4895.

Re: 32 special cast boolits
I have only used one cast bullet load in the 32 Win. Spl. The RCBS 170 FN over 30/H335. This is a full snort load fully equal to factory ammo and in my rifle give outstanding accuracy. This load is a little twoo stout for WW metal, so I used Lyman No. 2 alloy. I have plenty of other rifles I can shoot reduced loads in. This is my "go to" rifle and I keep 100 rounds of this load on hand always. Other rifles I fiddly and play with, but I want one that is sighted in and ready to roll at a moments notice and this is the one.
The 32 Win. Spl with its 1-16 twist is a cast bullet shooters dream.

Re: 32 special cast boolits
I agree, The RCBS 170 gr bullet is great.
They shoot great right up to 2,000 fps for some. I have only pushed them up to 1,900 fps and find no need for more.

Re: 32 special cast boolits
Right now I cast more of the RCBS 32-170GC then anything else !
Also cast the Lyman 321297 but it's a single cavity and it takes a bit longer to get a nice pile !
I have a 323-130GC mould on order with Lee in a groupbuy that should be intresting to say the least ! And it's in a 6 cavity mould !
Also of note ! Ranch Dog is in the works to bring out a 323-170GC bullet ! Now based on Lee's slowness I am not sure when it will be available for retail sale ! However I may get one a little earlier from the test moulds and I'll let you know how it does
And based on his other moulds I expect nothing but success with this mould as well !
