Thought I'd start a new thread about reloading cast bullet projects.
Yesterday I started reloading 36 old Western balloon head 32 Long cases for the Colt New Police (black powder model). Since going old timey, the Belding and Mull press was taken down from the shelf and put to work.
Cases will hold a full 13 grains of FFF black powder, with grease cookie, and 1950's vintage Federal 100 primers. Bullet was the NOE copy of the Ideal 313492 WC, 88 grains. The mold is a four cavity and makes more bullets than the SAECO #325 or RCBS 98 grain SWC, my other common 32 bullets. Alloy is WW +2% tin.
