Need help identifying a Lyman mold.

[Dipperman]

Does anyone have any information on a Lyman double cavity mold #299 152? I have gone through my reference books and the CastPics information and have found nothing on this number. I would really appreciate anything anyone can tell me.

Thanks in advance,

Al (aka Dipperman)

Dipperman:

You can find it in the historical entries in the old 1958 First Edition Lyman "Handbook of Cast Bullets", p. 112, top left (we haven't gotten this issue posted on CASTPICS yet). It was the: "Standard bullet for .32 Short center-fire shells [i.e., the .32 Short Colt, and similar loads for Hopkins & Allen, Merwin, Hulbert, etc.]. Seated only on heel." It was introduced in Ideal Handbook #10 (1898), and carried up through HB #39 (1953). A few of the cast-booliteers here have played with these older heel-crimp bullets. Thje .32 Short Colt is smaller than the .32 S&W, and had the same outside dimensions as the .32 Short rimfire. Several guns (such as the No. 2 Ballard) had reversible firing pins and could use either RF or CF.
