Black Angus McPherson 480 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I've been thinking about getting a mold and making my own bullets for my Ruger .32 but I don't know if the .32 S&W Long/.32 H&R Magnum needs a .311 or a .314 bullet. Or does the .003" really make a difference? I've seen several ".32" caliber bullet molds for both .311 and .314 but I don't know which is correct for my pistol. I know someone out there can help me out. Thanks, Angus Link to post Share on other sites
Oklahoma Dee 215 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hey cowboy, yes it can make a difference. Depends on where your pistols are on paper. Depends on the distance your gonna shot em. For our Ruger Single Six 32H&R's, Shootin at 5-9 yards pistol targets, I only reload using .313 dia bullets. But hey, I like em that way. Oklahoma Dee Link to post Share on other sites

Oklahoma Dee OK Dee gave you the right answer. 32 S&W Long and Short, as well as 32 H&R mag. barrels have a nomonal diameter of .312. In keeping with standard procedures, the .312 barrels should use lead bullets of .313, although I know for certain that bullets of .314 will work in them also. RBK Link to post Share on other sites
