What about a 358156 but shrunk down for 32s?

Now that’s an interesting idea.  Are you thinking about using 32 H&R Mag brass and loading to 327 Mag overall length using the back crimping groove?  Plus that relatively short xxx156 nose should help folks with cylinder length problems.  I’d think an RG4, with both Pb and GC cavities, could take care of almost all a fellow’s .32 needs.

Wouldn’t adding another crimp groove to the existing 314-119-RF be about what you’re looking for?

Shrinking the 358156 to .314-ish should result in a bullet of roughly 132-138 grains.  If you want something lighter, you’ll need to modify the features of the 358156, and possibly lose some of the perceived utility.

Same here, for an RF.  Though, I’m pretty satisfied with the 315-118-SWC (formerly 315-316?).
I think the problem is that we had about 20 different .32 cal ‘handgun’ bullets discussed and about 10 that got produced in roughly the late 2014 to early 2017 time frame, and there were just too many designs to keep up with.
Time. Money. Storage space.
All factors, in one way or another, for different people.

Hell… I still have one of the RG4 90 gr HBWC molds sitting here (now called 315-91-WC), that I’ve never gotten a good drop from.  It’s not the mold’s fault.  I just haven’t had the time to work out its “personality” yet.  Too many other molds to wrestle with, in the time I have available.

Anyway…
I’m still not sold on this one.  But I am interested.  That’s why I’m sticking around.

I think I would prefer something around 130 grains.  I already have half a dozen molds in 115-120 gr.

Does anyone have some good dimensions on the 358156?
I’d like to take a stab at drawing up the .314/.315 version, even if only to satisfy my own curiosity.

If not, perhaps I’ll draw up the 315-118 and tweak it a bit. 

Draw it up and let’s see it.  If you need me to do it too, I can, but it would be nice to have some measurements.

Well, I think it worked.  Here’s what I came up with.  It needs that disportionately large band in the middle to get a .125″ distance between the front and back crimping grooves.  327 Magnum brass is 1.200″ long, 32 H&R brass is 1.075″ long.  The nose needs to be a little stubby to meet the 1.450″ over all length of a 327 Magnum.  Please check my math.  I think everything adds up.

Do you have an idea of what the weight would be?

Based on similar bullets in the store, I’m thinking it will go about 125-130 grains.  I’m hoping Cornmastah can copy the dimensions into his drawing program, so we can know for sure.

376Steyr’s drawing comes out to 122.5 gr w/ GC.

This is as close as I can get without going to square lube grooves.  But then you have mold release issues.

The second image is with the top bad slope added (by eliminating the bore-ride section) for mold release.  It cuts 0.2 gr.

Good to hear.

I think it’s possible to get the ‘bore-riding’ section back on the nose, while also eliminating the 90 degree corner on the front/driving band.  But, as I said earlier, I’m still re-learning the program.  I think the option is in there.  I just didn’t want to play with even more variables earlier. 

(If you’ve never messed with TMT’s Cast Bullet Design software, you probably wouldn’t be aware.  But it’s a finicky, temperamental, error-prone beast of a program.  It’s great when it works, but if you get one thing wrong [or even just out of “proper sequence”] it’ll bite you and, more often than not, make you start over.)
