Maybe these will help. Sorry I don't have better pics.

This one appears to be in new or near-new condition. At this time I'm not sure of the vintage.

Thanks, Dave. I know it's a 158 RN but perhaps my post wasn't well-worded. Was looking more for opinions on the mould design based on personal experiences, and what people think of it.

Guys, I have a chance to pick up a near-new H&G #39 6-cavity mould with handles; 38/357 RN.
With me being more familiar with Lyman & RCBS moulds, what can you guys tell me about it, and what should...

Yes, sounds like you got a great deal, too. You basically got a free set of $30-35 handles.

Oddly enough, I hadn't noticed that before. Will have to take a look at it to see if it's a photo anomaly or not.

That actually might make a lot of sense, because I also received the following mould from the same person:

Good info, thank you.

I lucked into a nice 45-300-SWC about 3 years ago for $25. Couldn't whip out the money fast enough. LOL

Thank you, Doughty. I found very limited information but enough to discover that he died a few years ago and was known for making quality firearm-related tools. Too bad I don't have an 8mm rifle...

Here's another that came in the mail today; a 32-40-165 made by Winchester. The blocks mate up super tight and it's in nice shape overall. From what I've seen online most of these seem to be simply...

Recently I picked up some moulds, and included was this Lyman 280483 that has been modified/converted to a 322-200 apparently by a certain WH Wolf. The sprue plate has been replaced by a fabricated...

After 2+ months I'm still at #1 position on my LGS' waiting list for one of the 432's.

I didn't see that at first. Different countries used the SP-101 and I don't know if they all had the lanyard or not.

Is there a quick, easy way to identify it as an actual foreign police-issued model? I know the Trausch grips are a clue, but those can of course be easily installed on any SP-101.

Don't think so. Even though it's never been used I thoroughly cleaned it myself after receiving it. And as noted previously, the color is consistent even down into the threaded hole for the...

This was sold to me as a new mould and from all other appearances it seems to be unused. Of course it's not impossible that it could have been heat-cycled.

On quite a few occasions I've chemically stripped rust/bluing from Lyman moulds and have never had them turn brass-colored, but rather the typical "in the white" steel color.

I found one not long ago for a decent price but haven't tried it yet. If the Single-Six .32 H&R doesn't like it perhaps the .32L Smith model 31 will.

Recently I picked up this never-used Lyman round-ball mould that is unlike any other I've ever seen. It looks like brass but responds to a magnet. Tonight I took it apart and thoroughly cleaned it...

Have any of you ever tried the Lyman 313445?

Thanks, guys.

I meant 4-cav round-ball moulds in general, not just the .451. Seems like the vast majority of the ones I see are either 1 or 2 cav.

Recently I picked up a NOS Lyman 4-cavity .451 mould. To the best of my recollection this is the first 4-cav Lyman round-ball mould I've seen. Is it somewhat unusual to find these?

A few years ago I bought a large lot of moulds on GB. One of them was a new-in-box Lyman 4-cavity 429421 with the most gorgeous purple cavities and inner surfaces ever! Gotta say it was extremely...
