Just got a new Lyman 429215 44 mould and thought I would report on my first casting session. After cleaning and preheat it took 5 or so cast to get god bullets. I was using a wheel weight mystery metal with 2% tin added. The bullets cast right at about .431 and size nicely to .430. I am very happy as many report Lyman moulds cast too small. I suspect some are not using enough tin although I too have an older Lyman 429421 that cast between .429 and .430(it shoots fine though even with bigger throats). I acquired this mould as a light weight 44 special bullet to drive at higher velocity(greater than 1000s). As I have many 44 cal revolvers, I like .430 as a do all sizing that should work at least ok even with .432 throat like my smith 29-2s. Just thought I would report on a new manufacture Lyman mould. I am happy because, at the end of the day, I think I like iron moulds like Lyman or rcbs(wish they made 4 cavity) the best. I will report on a new Lyman 429421 4 cavity when I get a chance to cast with it.
