Been working on this the last two days, still have a couple of bugs to work out and threads to turn. The Hammer is the Lyman with the brass, steel and plastic heads. Now I have a lead head.

I like it! Very nice. Knurl looks great too.
I may have to try that.

The lead head wont thread worth a dang though. Be best to pin it I think.

My pictures aren't turning out the best tonight. Buy here is another one showing the threads. Hotguns, I bought a die tonight and used it. It worked well. You may be right, turning them may not have worked out as well. This head was the first one out of the mould. Obvious it wasn't hot enough yet but a good one to start on. It went in to the Lyman hammer easy. I smacked it on the anvil for several minutes to check strength, so far so good.
