Title: Need help identifing some bullets
Post by: Ram Ringer on June 28, 2012, 03:09:55 PM

I just came into possession of several hundred cast bullets that I do not know what caliber they are for. Looking at some pictures in Midway USA's catalog they resemble a 32-40 WCF. Most of them have gas checks already on them. I will recheck the diameter with my calibers, along with the weight but I believe they were something like .32. I do do know they won't fit in a 32 auto case.

Thanks

Galen

I realize this is a shot in the dark.

I measured the bullets and they do measure .32 on the calipers and they weigh about 165 grains.
