Default Cast Boolit ?s

Has any one used Dardas bullets ? Thoughts?
Also any suggestions for cast bullets for 32 S&W Long and 32 H&R looking for practice stuff for a S&W 432
Thanks
carl

I used his 38 Cal. bullets years ago before I started casting my own,they were excellent bullets. I like the fact that you can buy quantities of one hundred for testing and you have the option of several different sizing options on the same bullet as well.

Gardner's Cache has some good prices as well if you want a different style of bullet although the wait it is a bit longer than most commercial casters because he's a one man operation.
GARDNERS CACHE'

I would slug my bore to make sure you get a good bullet fit.

thank you, I just picked up the 432 and have yet to run anything through it.
I have reloaded a little 32 H&R and some 32 longs and am just getting into these 32s (addicting) I also hope to get to do some casting for the 32s
I will look at your recomendations

I have loaded the Hornady 90 grain SWC with 2.5 grains of 231. Also, their 90 grain HBWC with 1.8 grains of Bullseye. Excellent results all around, but that is to be expected with this little cartridge. I cast the Lee 93 grain RN, but have not gotten around to trying it in .32 Long yet. The .32 Long is very low pressure, so to avoid a lot of unburned powder I have found it best to stick to the faster powders and try to run near a maximum recommended load. The newer guns are plenty strong, but I suspect the loading recommendations are very conservative due to the many, many older guns that are around.

Missouri Bullet Company and several others cast them in the appropriate weight. Tennessee Valley Bullets gives you the option of several diameters to choose from. Have fun.
