Lyman Bullet Alloy

[williamwaco]

Lyman used to make two ( maybe more ) casting alloys.

When I first started casting there was lots of writing about Lyman No 1 and Lyman No 2.

Is there anyone here old enough to remember Lyman No 1?

Or have a book old enough to list the contents?

Here's a post about Ideal #1: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/archive/index.php/t-76679.html

Ideal #2 = Lyman #2, so maybe....

Yes, Ideal and Lyman are the same company (Were)

I am embarrased that I didn't think to search that way.


Thanks

RotoMetals sells both.

I buy Lyman #2 from them every other month. Great alloy in just about any gun and a pretty good hunting alloy also.
