    Lyman Mag 25 melting pot

    I am looking at the Lyman Mag 25 and I was wondering if anyone has experience with it. Would appreciate both pro and con. Is it worth the current sale price of $219.00.

    I've had mine about the same time as the others and no issues either. The mold guide is made for Lyman and other common molds. If you have MP molds they ride on top but don't fit in the grooves. I'd buy it again.

    I have had mine for over a year. It works fine. To stop a drip, I just take off the handle and spin the valve stem.

    I've been using the Mag25 for around a year.I like it.I use Lyman and RCBS molds so the mold guide works perfectly including with my Lyman hollow point molds.
