.32 Long Colt, for my Marlin Model 1892 lever-action rifle. This caliber requires unusual .32 projectiles, the standard .32 handgun bullets won't work because they're too large to enter a sized case mouth, which is typically .294 inch.
The hollowbased bullet is .299 inch diameter.
The heeled bullet has a heel of .299 inch and bullet diameter of .310 inch.
I cast heeled bullets from an old Lyman mould.
I also use Hornady .310 inch lead balls, used in .32-caliber muzzleloading rifles, pressed halfway into the mouth.
I also reload for .44-40 and .32-20 but don't consider them to be oddball calibers.
The .32 Winchester Special, for the 1894 carbine my Dad bought new in 1941. A fine rifle.
