I just received my new Lyman Mag 25...a couple of things:
It's definitely cool. The 20+ year old RCBS Pro-Melt I have has a stainless steel pot. Am I going to miss that? I'm not sure what this one is made of. It has some sort of black finish. Looking at the Mag 25 and comparing its features, it's hard to understand how the Pro-Melt can sell for over a $150.00 more. Perhaps time will reveal why but not at first look over.
As has been written in this forum, the mold guide is too narrow for most of my molds. It's such a nice mold guide too.
Has anyone decided to make a mold guide to fix this? Can I pay one of you metal educated machinist type folks to either modify this one or make a cool to cooler, new one?
I'm not sure that this one can be modified to work well. It may be too thin to thin out more. Maybe just cutting one edge off? Not sure I'm safe around aluminum with a sabre saw.
Any ideas or fixes will be happily entertained.
