My new (Old) Lyman mould

[CWLONGSHOT]

All right, lets try these :

OK looks ok now!!

I didnt notice handles included. YOU DID GREAT!!! Handles alone can be 50$ new!! So 25-30 used in good shape!! From 80 and you have a 50+- mold. PERFECTLY FAIR!!

A very versatile .30 cal. mould that can be pressed into service with the 30-30, 308 Win., 30-06 and a myriad of other .30 cal. cartridges.

Thanks Ben for introducing me to this mould.

That sure looks in nice shape for sure. Did it come with handles?

Yes, John, the handles came with it. They are my favorite handles for blocks of this size.

I dont see pics.

80$ for me is high side for a 2 Cav Iron. But not crazy.

IMHO 50/60 is fair <50 is cheap & 75 now aweful if its something you really want and its a nice clean mold. NOT counting shipping.

Of coarse some rare molds command more.

CW, the mould was $65, the shipping was $15.
Would that be somewhere in your ballpark?

Very nice mold. I’m glad that you got a good one!

My last eBay mold purchase did not go so well. I bought what appeared to be a very nice two cavity 323470. The seller shipped the mold halves loose. Of course they beat the hell out of each other.

I should have returned it. Instead I requested and got a partial refund and tried to repair it. I burnished the cavity edges a little too much, now it fins a bit on the nose. But it’s still sticking in the lube grooves. I need to spin a few bullets in the cavities. Or maybe I’ll just leave it in a corner as a reminder that I should return broken things, instead of adding more projects to my plate!

These were very strongly packaged with the handles taped closed, there wasn't much chance of them banging each other. The moulds with handles were then wrapped in 4-5 layers of bubble wrap with the small bubbles and taped tightly around that and then placed in an Amazon box that was a nice tight fit. It was a good packaging job.

I found that dealing with the Post Office is frustrating. With complaints, the PO circles the wagons. Everybody sounds like
Sergeant Schultz-"I know nothing."

YEP, P. O. #@$^%&*&(

Got a Lyman 4cav with nutcracker handles in an unpadded ENVELOPE, with a couple of newspaper wraps. From fleabay.
