The lighter NOE molds have a provision for a gas check, I do not recall seeing anyone fitting a gc to the 32gr.
The Reeds 32gr NOE's come in at 33.4gr for almost pure lead, and proably right on 32gr and a smidgen for the standard cast wheel weight lead.
Do any of you have these 32 grainers loaded up in say a .17Hornet?
Here is one in a .17vha:

1.2g700x32,9NOE point blank through 414 sheets of newsprint, approximately 1.125" of paper:
The nearly pure lead ones are particularly effective due to the nice expansion, despite no hollow point. :
