For 200 yards I would go with a spitzer nose. If you wanted to go longer range then you would go to a rounder nose. However if you wish to hunt with it you would want a flat nose.

You want a bullet that casts .321 or .322 in diameter.

For 15:1 twist a 190 grain bullet would be the right length. Could go to a 200 grain maximum. 

Leo from Boomer Molds builds custom molds at a good price:

Thanks for the input. It's going on a Browning highwall. The diameter of .322 is what I thought it would be. I am new at the cast bullet thing, all my shooting has been in the 6mm ppc jacketed stuff. Thanks for all the input. 

Larry 😊

Larry,
You don't have many choices in 32 GC molds. There are 2 Lymans to look for on Ebay. The 321295 (175 gr) and 321297 (180 gr).

NOE has this one in stock if you want to spend this much. It will cast about .324+ and you'll have to size it.

Boomer will be your best option for a single cavity. Have him add at least 1/8 to the above bullet for your twist rate. I can shoot at least a 1 1/8 long bullet in my 15 twist and your is a little faster.

If your looking at using it for target work, there are no target GC molds available. If that's the case PM me.

Frank

Look at accurate moulds. I think he has what you want and you can get it any size you want.

FWIW, Leo (Boomers Moulds) will also cut 2-cavity moulds - I have a 2-cavity .308 mould he cut for me...
Used it yesterday to cast up some bullets.

I have an NEI 190 grain spitzer and a Hoch 180 Pope style so there are other options.
