Mike--

#356402 is a truncated cone 9mm design that is kinda pointy in aspect. It is still in production.

#313249 is a two-groove RN design originally meant for the 32 S&W. I use this boolit for A LOT of 30 and 32 caliber pistol applications. I think it is still in production, too.

Mike:

In addition to those ID'd by Al, the "445899" is, I think*, actually #445599, a blunt, 250 gr., 3-groove Minie' dating from 1968, for the .45 Caliber Hopkins and Allen underhammer rifles and pistols (oddly, they list the sizer top punch #190 made for the factory-profile .45 Colt for it). You can see it on CASTPICS under the correct number.

No. 457671 has been listed and pictured in the Lyman Annual Product Catalogs since 1999; it is a 475-gr. , 3-groove gas-check bullet with a long ogival nose like the #457132 "Postell", and takes sizer top punch #671, though #132 should fit it OK. The "Cast Bullet Handbooks" haven't caught up with these yet; the 3rd Edition dates from 1980, and we're long overdue for a new one.

No. 356402 was designed to simulate the original German "truncated cone" bullet for the 9 mm Luger of 1908; it goes back to Lyman Handbook #28, of 1927.

Have fun!

* The Lyman cherry numbers have currently only reached #(501)680; it'll be a L O N G while before they get to the -800's (unless they start making affordable moulds to our designs - FAT CHANCE!!!)
