    Grooved sprue plate for Lyman molds

    I'd rather not modify my existing and original sprue plates on a number of Lyman molds. Looking for a source for replacement sprue plates with grooves (or troughs) next to sprue hole. Anyone???

    Get ahold of Red River Rick, he should have a vendor spot in our vendor forum, I bought a Lyman 4 cav sprue plate with trough and Lee style cam handle from him for a pair of Lyman's I've got.

    What an improvement in use and quality!

    Resurrecting an old thread for the purpose of updating sources for the sprue plates with trough.

    The Lyman plates are just ok.

    After getting an old Lyman 4 cav mold that had a custom sprue plate with the trough cut into it (thicker plate than the standard Lyman 4 cav plate), I'm looking to replace a couple of problem Lyman plates.

    Red River Rick is not among us any more (at least I don;t think so)... Any other place to get these????

    Red River Rick posted last on June 6, 2017, so I suspect he is still with us. Use the search and then click on a thread and scroll until you find a posting from him. Then you can send him an "E" mail.

    Oh.....since when?

    I've been here on Cast Boolits for 11 years.........and intend on being here for a while yet. Just because I don't log in or post much anymore, don't mean that I'm no longer active. I check this site everyday, and read the posts.

    In the future, perhaps you should check before posting wrong information.

    BTW, I do have replacement sprue plates, with trough, for either the Lyman D/C or 4 cavity moulds.
