This bullet is another one designed to fit a chamber. It fills the neck and starts the bore riding section in the bore, like the 30/30 mold.
I believe that if they would have offered a bullet like this in the 32 WS in jacketed form, it would still be popular and loaded today.
I don’t have a chamber drawing for the 32 Rem but, it should work well in it, too. I do have a Mod 14 that is very accurate with jacketed that I would like to try it in.

Put me down for a PB mould. Quite honestly I ordered a GC mould from Tom moments before you posted this thread but I think I still need a PB mould to try in my rifles. One 94 was built in 1921 and the other in 1969 and they seem to have markedly different chamber dimensions and will likely have different tastes. My shooting buddy has a 94 and a 64 in 32 and we’re still looking for bullets they like as well.

It hasn’t gone anywhere. There are only 5 interested and it takes 10 people.
It couldn’t go as a .325 diameter and still work with the 32 WS. The basic 32 WS groove is .320, .323 is about max. useable size and if cast in #2 alloy, it would be close to .324.
There could be a option for a oversize in the run though.
I might modify it a little and change the as cast to .322 in WW, giving a .323 in #2 and change the groove band ratio.

frnkeore,
Looks like the shank of that bullet might be tailor-made for the neck of the .32-40. Got a single shot on the way home that will need fire-forming with interim bullets and slugging before I can commit, but it does make me go “Hmmmmmmm”
(If it is the fit I’m thinking it will be, a spitzer nose on that tail would also make me go “Hmmmmmmm”)
I won’t be playing on this one unfortunately, though it was a very near thing. It’s a GREAT looking pill.
The single shot in question has a .316″ bore and very little in the way of leade or freebore. There were sufficient doubts about it being able to easily chamber in this rifle that the custom cut route was chosen. Not familiar enough with this diameter family to know the trends, but this gun at any rate will probably be happier with a .314″ nose section.
