I'm looking for some .32 wadcutter bullets for my Zylap Patriot target pistol. These need to be solid, not hollow based.

The original bullet for these pistols was a solid .32 wadcutter with a gas check. I have found a very similar bullet available in the USA, unfortunately, not available here.

So - Is anyone casting this type of bullet or have a redundant mould laying about?

If you send a design or a couple of bullets to Tom at Accurate moulds he will make one for you at no extra cost.

It could be worth having a look through his catalogue just in case someone has got there before you with a Patriot mould and then you could just order that.

From my recollection of shooting those pistols they do seem to prefer a very soft bullet, the originals were swaged I believe.

My experience with Shellhouse has been their bullets a very hard even the one that are supposed to be soft for BP are still way too hard for most applications, I would see if you could get a few to try first before going down the commercial cast bullet route.

This is the pistol:

and the bullets: The original is swaged/gas checked the other is cast. A standard 98 grain HBWC is too long.

The one on the left is cast, the one on the right is swaged.

NOE are doing a GB on double ended wad cutter moulds at the moment and have 32 version in 0.315" diameter here: http://noebulletmolds.com/smf/index.php ... 071.0.html

If it would be any good then you will get a discount for signing up for the buy.
