Interesting looking molds. I've picked up a couple 30 & 32 pistol molds at gun shows, the one was made by Lyman 83 gr. Wad-cutter mold, the other is a Lee 92 gr Round-nose. I usually load them with about 6 grs. of Unique, and use Cream of Wheat to top the case up before seating the bullet.

My brother goes with .30 and .32 caliber buckshot for his light small game loads, again about 4 to 6 grs. of Unique. The neck of the sized case will hold the pellet in place. You can put a bit of Vaseline over the pellet for lube or use actual bullet lube.
I use Cream Of Wheat (COW) because it seals the base of the bullet and which helps prevent leading.
