Well got a Lyman mold, 311410, from WALLNUTT last week. Great shape, thank you. Was busy all week and just looked at it every day. DON'T have a set of handles for it, called the local Cabela's and they don't have any in stock. Wasn't really expecting them to but was hoping that they did. Soooo, I have to order a set. But what about today?
Itching to cast. So here is the result of about an hour of work.

This is my newest set of handles. Yes they are cheep pliers. Yes they are pinned to the mold with the regular screws. Took me and my grinder a while to get close to right. Little hard to get closed fast, but mold is most forgiving. Only tossed back about 20 or so, half cold, rest me not used to the steel mold and short handles and not getting filled correctly.
Used to cast these

Almost 100 perfect bullets

Here is better view of a couple.
I don't think I will be using these handles long term, but they do work for trial.
Thanks for looking!
