I think I've figured out why Midway is closing out the Lyman Master Casting Kit at low prices. I just ordered one, and when I received it see that it has the full cast boolit reloading manual. I figured it just had the little orange digest-size manual (it has 2 of those).
Anyway, since Lyman is coming out with a new manual soon (can't wait!), vendors are closing out these kits with the old manual. For the price of the sizer alone you get a 4500 sizer, Mini-Mag furnace, Ladle, the book sized manual, stick o' lube, and an Ingot mold.
Add up the separate prices on these to see what a great deal it is.
It just dropped 4 more dollars since I ordered it on Monday. Oh, well. If I waited much longer, there may have been none in stock.

You may want to add a lube heater, or just use a hair drier or a reading lamp. If you are new at this, you'll also need a sizing die and a top punch to get started.
