Haven't had a .32 for several years, but I did have two S&Ws that I shot only cast bullets in. Don't recall the mould number, but I used one by RCBS that cast a flatnose 88 grain bullet (wheelweight alloy). My notes indicate best sizing diameter for my guns was .314".

I have a RCBS 98 that a .314" die does not touch the edges. My pre regulation police made in the early 50's does real well with a .313 or 312" sized bullet. That gun may be the most accurate handgun I own with the Lee 90 gr swc and 2.5 gr Red Dot.

I was just shooting one of my Pre-30, 2" I Frame on Wed, and was very well pleased with the grouping from it with the Hunters Supply (Midway) 115 gr. cast RNFP, .313".

My Lyman Cast Bullet manual used .313 for their S&W test revolver
with a .312 groove dia.
