Need Info - Older Mold Blocks

[Steve Cover]

I need some information.

I have been offered a pair of old bullet molds

Two older Lyman blocks:
410032 & 410639.

I can not find any data on these bullet molds.
Evidently Lyman no longer offers bullet molds for the 41 magnum.

Basically, I want to know what weight bullet they each throw and if they use a gas check.

i just looked and i couldnt find anything in my reference... the closest was a 41032 and nada on the 410639. The 41032 had several diff weights offered and was a PB but you just need to look at the base and you can tell if it is a PB or a GC pretty easy. the weights you may need to try them out. Diff alloys will deliver slightly diff results.

410639 is 170 gr truncated cone for 41AE. Uses #43 top punch.

41032 would be the older version of 410032.
they added the extra number later and updated their older mold number by adding in the extra 0.
the 41032 is a plain based swc mold that come in different weights from 200 to 225grs in 5 grain increments.
the extra weight was simply the cavity cut deeper in the mold and the base band being thicker or thinner to add or subtract the weight.

410639 - ?

the 410639.
is basically the 401638 meant for the 40 short and the 10mm, blown up to 41 caliber and 170gr for use in the 41 AE cartridge.
the 41 pretty much was overshadowed by the 40 short given that their ballistics are so super similar, and that the 40 popped up in guns and ammo from everywhere, it's no wonder the 41 didn't live on.

I use a 41032 that is labeled 212 gr. It usually drops slightly light even with softer alloy; works very well in my Ruger NMBH but is too long in the nose when crimped in the crimp groove for my Taurus Tracker in 41; and it doesn't feed well at all in the Marlin carbine. It usually runs out of loob in the 10" contender if I push it too hard. Good accurate bullet but not for every purpose.

The Lyman chart I have lists the 410032 as a SWC , looks to be for the 41 magnum , and is listed as being made in six different weights , all six having the same 410032 number : 200 grains , 205 grains , 212 grains , 215 grains , 220 grains and 225 grains.
Mine was ordered years ago and is the 220 grain version.

The 410639 number is not shown. Could the number be 410459 ?

Thanks guys,

I'm looking for a mid weight plinker for my Ruger 41 Magnum.
I'll have her send me the molds.

Once I have the blocks in hand I'll be able to read the numbers myself.

If they don't work out, I'm sure that I can trade them.

Appreciate the info and advice.
