.32 Paul Jones Bullet

Had a request to post a picture of the 235 grain Paul Jones Spitzer I use in my .32 caliber rifles with a 1:11.5 twist.

No one will ever do it better than what PJ made.
I'm very lucky to have 3 of his moulds.

That looks like a pretty close reproduction of a .32 caliber Pope used except for the wider base band on Pop's

I use 20:1 lead:tin alloy.

Paul Jones moulds were nicely finished; and were more precise using a cherry to cut them.
You can see the machining marks on the Pope bullet.
Yes they both have a similar nose; but Paul Jones always cut wider and deeper grooves for more lube (but not for the moulds requested by Dan T.).

Attached are the specifications for the mold for use with 1:11.5 twist barrels.

I also used a shorter 205 grain version of the same bullet in my 1:14 twist rifles.

I had a .25 , three .32. a .40 and a .45 Paul Jones mould.
They all performed with great results.

10 shot target (.799" group) at 200 yards using the 235 grain bullet.

Are you breech-seating the bullet? Thanks, Ed

Yes I was using a Russ Weber breech seater to insert into either my .32 RKS Miller Rifle, my .32 RKS Hoch Rifle, my .32 RKS 1885 High Wall Rifle or my .32-40 Hoch rifle.

Are they all the same shape as the .32 bullet at the top of the page?

The 122 grain .25, the 205 grain .32, the 215 grain .32, and the 235 grain .32 all had the same style spitzer nose.

The 427 grain .40 and the 500 grain .45 had a Creedmore nose.

Dave, in your 205 bullet how/where is it shorter than the 235gr??

SchuetzenDave · Post by **SchuetzenDave** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 10:24 pm

The 235 grain spitzer is 1.300" long.
The 205 grain spitzer is 1.134" long missing one of the grease grooves and driving bands.
