Have Ron make your .33 caliber barrel the same as he made the two for John and I here in Anchorage. My Pope .33 Muzzle-Loading bullet fits that barrel perfectly and I can send a bullet to whoever is going to make your mould.

The Pope .32 caliber moulds are typically made with seven bands (.33 are eight) the first three or four are bore diameter .314" the next bands are .3225" and the bottom large band is a tapered band starting at .3225" with the bottom at .327".

The .33 Pope starts out at .330" for the first four bands then .333" .3355" .340" with the bottom large band starting at .340" tapering to .344".

Both Pope bullets have a tapered base band about .005"-.006" over groove diameter. These are made for muzzle-loading and may or may not work in your rifle for breech-loading.

I don't have a .32 Pope rifle here and have not had one for several years so I will try to find my barrel card on it. I have both .32 and .33 caliber Pope moulds but do not have any cast bullets for the .32. The next time I cast bullets I'll run some .32's and see how they measure. The measurements for the .32 I posted was from my old Pope mould that a friend here in town now has.

I've had dismal luck getting a mould maker to make a copy of the Pope .33 caliber mould, the last one was a disaster.
