I almost bid on that 3 groove bullet until I looked closer and realized that I have two of them already.  I have an unused spare just in case and use that bullet almost exclusively.  It has a couple of 250's so far with more to come I hope.

I bought that mold back when CPA had them in stock.  I've only used it in one rifle, but it shoots very well in that one.  I wish I had a backup of that mold like Jack does Smiley

I just received a couple of Hoch molds from an eBay auction. I thought one sounded familiar.  I now have a backup for my 322-200 nose pour mold and a new to me 322-215 nose pour

Sometimes we just get lucky. The late Keith Foster and his shooting buddy had gotten a nice heavy for caliber 32 Barnett bullet in some sort of deal and it didn’t fit either of their rifles.  They showed it to me @ Beeson’s and asked whether I was interested.  Of course I was!  The Douglas barrel on my Peregrine Bench gun that Charlie Dell built in 32/357 simply loves this bullet.   

If you don’t have the ability to cut just the right bullet mould for your gun, you just have to be willing to try what you can find until something works.

I have a few Hoch molds that I have never cast a bullet with,  maybe some day I'll pull them out and give them a try.
