I have been buying the Magma bullets in 38-40 since I started CAS shooting since they are the only ones that seem to work with my Uberti 1873 lever action. I have four other 38-40 bullet moulds (two different Lymans, an RCBS, and an NEI) and none of them work. So I finally bought a brand new Magma 38-40-180 RNFP BB of my own.
I bought it set up for hand casting and RCBS handles. It still came with the odd Magma sprue cutter, though. Looking at it tonight I am not sure how best to use it manually. It swings opposite of my other moulds. I will be hitting the lever towards me instead of away from me.
Does anyone have any suggestions or tips on how best to maipulate it? Does anyone know if the Lyman 2-cavity mould sprue plate will fit without too much work? Is there any other conventional sprue plate out there that might work?
