    Lyman All-American 424 SWC seater plug

    Has anyone here heard of a 424 seater plug to match the nose on the 454424 keith SWC? I called Lyman's help line and they offered a number 460L (item 7122460).

    Are the nose profiles essentially the same?

    Thanks for any info ya'll might have.

    ...........You can drill one out and use epoxy for an exact fit.

    This is on the Lyman web site:

    http://www.lymanproducts.com/lymanproducts/index.htm

    I do occasionally buy direct from them when the purchase is small, or items not usually found at other vendors, like the empty mould boxes.

    I realize that this is an old post, but I'll reply, anyway: I suggest the Lyman Seater Plug #348 be tried, as it has a flat surface for seating.

    If you have an ill fitting plug ...
    And the boolit has a flat spot on it ... SWC , WC , RF , TC ...
    Fill the plug with epoxy or epoxy putty (J-B Weld) let harden and sand dead flat to make a Flat Seating Plug ... it will seat them all better than trying to find a plug that matches the exact profile ...
