Got these as part of a larger deal, and don't shoot ,45 rifle myself, so offered here:


older Ideal 457124 mold, 385 gr, 1-cavity, $35 shipped -- SPF
older Lee 457-450F mold, 450 gr, 1-cavity, $20 shipped -- SPF
Lyman top punch #374 (fits 457124), $5 + shipping -- SPF
Lyman top punch #191 (might fit 457-450F), $5 + shipping -- SPF
Lyman .457" H&I sizing die, $15 each + shipping (2 available) -- one SPF, one still available, now $15 shipped
RCBS .458" H&I sizing die, $15 + shipping -- SPF
(Take the whole lot, and I'll do "shipped" on all prices.)


The H&I sizers and the top punches can ship for $5-$7 apiece, depending on how many, but the top punches are light enough that either or both would get a free ride with anything else.

Ideal 457124. (The screwy-looking pic has been image processed so you can see the "IDEAL" stamping better.) Old rust patches around the outside, but none in the cavities. Note the old style vent lines on one side of the top, and on one block face. Also, this mold predates set screws (probably everything is 10-36, I haven't taken it apart), the sprue plate tension washer has milled edges, and there's a bevel on the leading edge of the sprue plate. One alignment hole is peened a little, and the pins have been hammered, but alignment is tight, with a little daylignt between the blocks unless you close them firmly. No box.

Lee 457-450F. Old style alignment wedges & sideways pin, in reasonable shape. The black stuff would be mold release, or maybe old beeswax. :) Not much scuffing on top of the blocks, evidently Lee sprue plates were smoother on these old ones. Also note old style short handles, and pressed on handle pin fastener instead of a nut. Lee box, and includes an old Lee catalog.

Top punches. (#374 on the left, #191 on the right.)
310766

H&I Sizers. RCBS & 1st Lyman SPF. (Tube in rough shape on the 2nd Lyman.)

Any questions, need more pics, etc., please feel free. (And yes, I'd be open to trades, see partial want list below, PM for more.)

Thanks for looking. :)
