I'd like to buy some from you, or trade for them with some pure Lead ( from Lead water pipe ). Let me know how you'd like to proceed.
BTW, I don't need the 311410, I found some of those.

This what I have :
1) A few sized to 308 with Thompson bullet lube
2) A few sized to 310 with Thompson bullet lube
3) A few hundred sized to .311 with Lee Alox lube

I have a master caster with only the 308 and 310 sizing die, I used a lee 311 sizing die for 311 .

I would prefer to trade for :
1) 7.62x39 brass
2) 7.62x54r brass
3) something to harden lead

I'm a PC'er and would need the cast to be just cast, not lubed. Also would like them no larger than .309, but I can size them myself. Only brass I would have for trade would be .223 I use water to harden my cast, since all the Lead I have is pure and COWW.

Sorry all the bullets I have cast right now are lubed and don't plan on casting for awhile , all are gas checked also .

Just guessing PC stands for powder coat

Randy's correct. As far as the 311410 goes, I mispoke I have 311041 and 311291 (favorite). So, I could try some 311410 and 311359. I would need them as cast and not lubed.
Thanks

Tagging on to an older thread. I've have a Lyman 311359 that I started casting for my M1 Carbine. Mold is great, but I'm having some issues with the top punch #359 that deforms the cast bullets and leaves a nipple looking effect on the tip of the bullet. The interior of the punch looks like it was made defectively as it doesn't taper to point. There's a hole at the end of the interior of the punch, never seen one like it. Any one else have the same top punch and mold and have any problems with it? Thanks.

Hi, more necroposting, but I'm having the same issue with the 413 TP. Is this the problem you're having? I called Lyman, and they were quick to send a replacement. Unfortunately, the new one has the exact same problem. I'm wondering if this is a new manufacturing process? In any event, my solution was to put a dab of hot melt into the TP and form it with a lubed bullet. No more nipple on my bullet! Ed
