Stumbled across this the other day. While theres a bunch of older, discontinued sets of Lee Loaders for sale there is also a rather extensive source of original data sheets for the various loaders....

Lapua is, in my opinion, the best brass out there. Not cheap, but I have yet to have a case split or otherwise have to be discarded. The cases seem a little thicker than most but the uniformity is...

I just got a refund last month after ordering a mould back in spring of 2013. I was told that it was always just a matter of a few weeks away. Finally had the mould made elsewhere and asked for a...

First class and worth twice the price. I think I bought something like $2k worth of moulds from him last year and I can't thing of a single bad thing to say about his product or service.

Oh it is #370163, they just switched the recommended sizes around over time. Cherry #163 was never assigned to anything else. They used to do that quite a bit without actually changing much of the...

Are you sure that's 375183 and not 375163? My ref's show that cherry #183 was assigned to bullet #421183(ca. 1902, HB#14), and that same source lists a cherry #163 as being assigned to a .38-55...

For those who cant imagine such an ungainly and awkward contrivance ever existed:

The original packaging was a cardboard box in the usual Lyman pattern, containing two smaller mould boxes....

I had a Ruger #1 for a while and liked using the #462560. When I felt like taking it a bit easier on my shoulder I used the #460390.

Lyman has offered multiple-weight bullets in the past and, usually, bullets that varied simply by addition/omission of additional grease grooves were not given their own numbers. For example, many of...

Modern Bond. Their numbering protocol, as I understand it, is caliber+bullet length. So your 429-750 is a .44 bullet that is 3/4" long. Since some bullets share similar lengths they also throw a...

That looks more like a 'pound die' than a mould. That seems to be a hand-held swage rather than a mould.

It would appear any mould maker capable of making a deep-hollowbase mould could make such a beast.

#266454 appears to be a Loverin-styled bullet:

My fairly extensive listings of Ideal/Lyman moulds do not show the cherry #454 being used for anything else. I believe there is a bit of...

I had a Siamese Mauser in .45-70 that I used to use as a test platform for various .45-70 bullets. I had an NEI 458" 425 boattail spitzer mould and ran off a few bullets. Shot them against a...

A quick look through CBH and HBC don't show any data specific to the #358093, there might be some in the older manuals but I'm not really motivated to crack them open. I looked in the manuals #40 and...

Interesting. The majority of #429303 moulds I've encountered have the v-shaped grease groove. This is only the second or third square-bottomed grooved one I've seen.

NOE has several different weight versions of the #429303, but they are plain base.

Handbook of Cast Bullets, (ca. 1958) has a two page article in it detailing the genesis of the "High Velocity Penetrator" or "HiVeloPen" as they called it. It is implied that its designer, Carl...

Lyman offered three designs specifically for the .348 Win.:#350447, #350457 and #350482. These were specifically for the .348 Win., but there were a couple other moulds that, although not meant for...

Lyman only made three moulds for the .41 Colt - #386176, #386177, and #386178. The hollowbase was #386178...the other two were heelbase bullets for the Short and Long, respectively. If the price is...

Some info on the Harvey Prot-X bore moulds...


Evolutionarily a dead-end....good idea though. The concept is still around as Corbin, I believe, makes a swage set to fix a copper 'wiper' to the...

As mentioned, the Loverin bullets carry a lot of lube. They also have very little of their length unsupported in the barrel (compared to other designs of the time).

Note that there are Loverin...

It's a #358093. There's a .44 version as well (#429303). In addition to the Lyman versions, Hensley and Gibbs (H&G) made this style of bullet, with and without shoulders and in varying weights,...

Depending on your final use, the #311008 or the #311410 might suit your needs. Prior to the advent of the gas check, Ideal made zillions of different .30 caliber moulds that differed basically in...

Codes to distinguish between all the other #452460 cherries. When one cherry starts to wear out and needs to be replaced they can say which #452460 needs to be pulled.
