Figured I'd go straight to the best audience. I picked up a pristine Colt Army Special, 6", .32-20, 1922-vintage (after Colt upped their metallurgy game). Throat/bore dimensions are a skinch more generous than "standard" for .32-20 - .3145 throats, .313+" groove diameter. Looking for a mold in 115gr, give or take, that drops a bullet cast of soft-ish tin/lead alloy, of .315" that'll stand a touch of sizing, or a solid .314". Either way will work.

Figured I would see if someone in the hive here would have one before I go having Tom at Accurate molds, or someone else, cut me one.

I've already turned a custom expander spud for use in the RCBS universal neck expander die that I employ for oddball cast bullet seating. The darned RCBS die set I have sizes the necks and expands necks as if they want me to use .311-312 bullets. I guess they assumed usage with jacketed stuff and "modern" toleranced guns. Maybe a Cowboy Action Pistol die set is in order, but my homemade expander should do the trick. Gotta think about this some more. I hate cramming an oversize lead bullet into tight necks, no good comes of it.
