Very Nice Set of Winchester Reloading Tool and Bullet Mold in 32-40 for Winchester 1885 Hiwall or 1894 Rifle W/Decapping Pin
Description: Super nice set of Winchester Reloading Tools in 32-40 consisting of the 1880 Model Tool with original decapper pin and 4th Model iron handled bullet mold. The photos of these do not do them justice...they're much nicer! These are 1880's vintage tools for the Winchester Model 1885 Hiwall Rifle but I believe would just as easily work for the Model 1894 lever action rifle. They both have 95% original blue. Mold has a nice cavity that is pefect and handle is marked 32-165. Decapping pin inside the tool is marked 32-40. These are almost always missing. Both tools have the Winchester address nicely stamped on the sides. BTW, the 32-40 was one of the last black powder cartridges introduced by Winchester in the 1880's and was often chambered in the 1885 Single Shot Hiwall Model originally designed by John Browning. It was an extremely accurate round and its zenith was in the 200 yard range where it held the world's record for a 10 shot group for nearly 100 years. It was also one of the original calibers for the Model 1894 lever action rifle and when production ended in 2006 at the New Haven plant, someone did a lengthy magazine article where they revisited all the calibers offered in its 100 year production span. We're talking a bunch...38-55, 32-40, 30-30, 25-35, 32 Winchester Special, 7x30 Waters, 307, 356, 375, 44 mag, 44-40, 45 Colt, etc. Would you believe that out of all them, they found this old obsolete black powder round, the 32-40 to be the most accurate? They did! It's just an amazing caliber for target shooting as well as a good hunting round for small to medium sized game. Great set of tools with very little wear showing. $20.00 shipping. SOLD Rifle Caliber: .32-40 Winchester |
