I'm happy to answer any questions or entertain offers but the first "I'll take it!" posted here trumps all "PM sent" and "I'll take it if...." types of posts. US sales only and no sales where prohibited. I'd prefer payment by PayPal (gift/"friends & family" or pay the 3% fee) because I'm leaving town next week for work and won't be able to ship until later in June. Shipping will be by Priority Mail in a small flat rate box or a padded envelope for a fixed fee of $7.25. I'm happy to combine shipping whenever possible if someone wants more than one of the items listed below. I'm not interested in any trades at this time. Pics of molds (but not handles, which are in VG, usable condition) are below.

1. Lyman single cavity mold handles: $20 plus shipping

2. Lyman double cavity mold handles: SPF $20 plus shipping SPF

3. Lyman "nutcracker" 4-cavity mold handles: One of the pins in the handle is missing but I've used these before without any issues and only noticed it when I got them out last night. SPF $20 plus shipping SPF

4. Lyman 450229 single-cavity hollow base mold: This was designed for a .44 cap and ball revolver, I believe. However, it casts at around 0.453" with soft alloy and I've used it in the .455 Webley and .450 Revolver cartridges very effectively. Uses Lyman single cavity mold handles (not included) SPF $40 plus shipping SPF

5. Ballisti Cast 793PB (150 gr. .452 wadcutter bullet for .45 Auto Rim or .45 LC) double cavity mold with handles: I bought this mold and I've cast a few bullets with it and the bullet was very accurate out of my S&W 625. I intended to use it for bullseye shooting but just don't have the time. I bought this custom well-made mold new and it's only been used once. If I remember correctly, it cost me around $150 to $175. It has "0.4585" stamped on one side, but the bullet dropped at around 0.454" for me using wheel weight a. I believe this uses special mold handles so I've included them with this mold. SPF $75 plus shipping for the mold and handles SPF

6. Odd single-cavity brass mold marked with only "436 JW": I bought this mold with the intention of using it in my .41 Swiss Vetterli but never got around to it. I've never used it but the mold was shipped to me with a bullet in the cavity. It measures right at 0.436" and weighs 330 grains. It appears to have a small gas check shank on the bottom but it doesn't appear to be long enough to me (?). This mold uses Lyman double cavity mold handles (not included). SPF $30 plus shipping SPF

I believe the brass .436 mold to be a CBE mold and the bullet was designed by departed friend Joe Weist (Swiss shooter) on this and other forums as smokemjoe. It was designed for the Vetterli rifle. I have not seen an actual mold shaped like that one; mine has the traditional rectangular blocks and is a plain base mold, also designed by Joe. Joe won many military matches using these boolits in his Vetterlis. PM sent on item #3, 4 cavity Lyman handles.
