32 HBWC Bullets

Greetings,

Here in the States, Speer is the only source for 98 grain HBWC bullets.

Lapua are available; but, I have never achieved good results at 50 yards with either the 83 or 98 grain bullet.

Someone is putting together a group buy for some H&N bullets (The most desirable); but, the machinery has broken down and the ship date delayed.

I find that PVRI make a 32 bullet; but, it is too small in diameter.

What other brands in Europe do you folks reload with? Norma, GECO, ???

Perhaps a large purchase from one of the manufacturers could take place.

With kind regards,

David

The only way to ensure supply of a quality projectile is to cast
them yourself.
Since the 1980's I cast and shoot a 90g button nose, single lube
groove, bevel base wad cutter (.314) 3% tin.
Works well at 25m (ISSF) and 50yd (Service Pistol).

Rover, I really liked those 90gr hornadys but for some reason the seem be unobtanium. I prefer the sawaged over cast.The 83gr lapua seem to work well for me. Plus they are available.

Greetings,

The reason Hornady are not available is due to the fact they quit making them four years ago.

They did not shoot that well anyway.

Cheers,

Dave

Most people here on Sweden uses H&N, some uses Lapua or Fiocchi. Fiocchi is only available in .313, 98gr, and coated with teflon. That coating may stick in some barrels, not fun at all. Very well made. Something for Pardini USA to think about?
Norma has not made a .32 bullet in over a decade. No factoryloads either.
Old Geco is gone. A couple of years ago the brandname appeared again with factoryloads made by fiocchi.
