    WTB Lyman 2 Cavity 30cal Molds & top punch

    Looking for a few 2 cavity Lyman molds, the slotted lock screw is preferred, condition is most important.

    356402
    358430 195gr PBRN
    358242 120gr PBRN
    358311
    358495
    311284
    311334
    311359
    311413
    311440

    Also ISO a Lyman 413 top punch. Thanks!

    If you are just wanting to play around with some older designs, that is OK. But, if you are looking for best accuracy, 311334 (Krag bullet) and 311413 (Squibb bullet) are not a good use of your money. The 311334 is a true bore rider that requires a proper fit to give best accuracy. Mine casts .298-299 on the nose depending on the alloy and is really to small for best accuracy in most 30 cal rifles with a true .300 land diameter. 311413 is the Lyman version of the Squibb bullet which was made at one time by every mold maker. It does well at 1.6K fps velocity, but over that best accuracy is hard to find.

    I know, I should mind my own business, but thought maybe you might find the above helpful. If not then just ignore the old busy body.
    Disclaimer: The above is not holy writ. It is just my opinion based on my experience and knowledge. Your mileage may vary.

    I'd like to throw my hat in the ring- I have a 358311, double cavity with the slotted lock screw. If you aren't opposed I also have a NOE 311440, one hollow point and one solid, gas check mold. Dunno how set you are on the Lyman vs other brand. Both great molds that throw well-formed boolits.
