I use a Redding expander die for both 32H&R and 327 Mag. The plug is 0.310in diameter and my own cast bullets are sized 0.313in. Seems just about perfect.

In my Single Seven, I use 105gr. plain base lead bullets from an Accurate Mold and a 115gr. HP GC lead bullet from an MP mold. Both shoot very well. I use WST for loads around 850fps, Longshot for 1100-1250 fps, and 296 for 1400+ fps. All in Starline 327 brass. Excellent cartridge!

I have shot both 0.430 and 0.431 sized cast bullets in my Lipsey Bisley flattop 44 SP. These are cast of WW + 2%tin and are Keith style (MP molds copy of H&G 503) then powder coated. Both sizes shoot very well with no leading. I have yet to see any difference. My cylinder throats will just...

If you are using carbide dies, this is normal. The carbide ring in the sizing die by design cannot size all the way to the case head as contact with the shell holder can occasionally shatter the carbide. I would use your cylinders as your case gauge. Size until your brass easily drops into...
