    Exclamation WTB: Old Ideal/Lyman molds

    I'm following in the footsteps of giants, some of you even. People that were casting and reloading while I was in diapers. A big part of this casting and reloading enjoyment for me is molding boolits out of vintage Ideal/Lyman molds.

    If you have any in 44/40, 44, 45, 38cal please message me. I would like to pay a fair price but I am not shy to spend money when it is worth it!

    I have single cavity molds for 147 and 158 grain round nose .357s and a two cavity for a 230 grain .45 I'm not using. Send me an offer if you're interested. These would be steel molds, I think Lyman, and in perfect condition.

    I bought this mold back in about 1966 or 1967. Lyman 358311. 358 160 RN. In perfect condition wiAttachment 288229th original box. What do you feel is a fair price?
