nugmanSeeking Lyman 457102 mould (gas checked 425 grainer)
I'm seeking a gas checked Lyman bullet mould for a 45-70, ~425 grain. It is Lyman number 457102 or 458102(?).
If you have one, and were thinking of giving it a new home, please drop me a PM.
Yes, I know RCBS makes a 458-400 gas check mould. I will likely go that route if I can't find the Lyman. If anyone has the RCBS 458-400 grain gascheck mould, I'd be interested too.
VG+ or better condition.
Thanks.

RicochetI've often thought that mould looked very interesting.
Right now there's a group buy in the offering for a 420 grain plain base over on Cast Boolits that you may want to check out, here:

arkypeteA heads up.
My 457102 weighs in at 445 grains using WW and a bit of tin. Very accurate, lovely bullet.
