    Lyman Molds What is it ?

    Found this Lyman mold at a flea market. Number 2874050 i looks like a 7mm mold with handles can anyone tell me more about. I hope i did not waste five dollars for it. Also a Lyman mold round ball number 550 for five dollars what is it.

    Yup. One too many digits. The last "0" is probably a letter, instead of a number.

    Maybe 'O' for 'Oversize'?

    Mine looks just like the 287405 but i recheck mine and it stamp 2874050 could it mean oversize ? It looks to be a old style mold ? Also the last zero is smaller then first zero.

    I would double your money if you want to sell. Sight unseen.

    I will swap for a Lyman 30 cal mold like 150 to 180 weight bullet that some thing i could use. I have a lot of different 30 cal rifle but two 7mm that i don't reload for.
