Ideal/Lyman molds on Ebay and fixing loose mold handles
Someone is selling a collection of Ideal/Lyman molds that were new old stock and has them on Ebay. They have been stored greased for years. Many are 257 bullet molds,Ideal/Lyman 257 molds in any shape seem to go for $110.00 or more, but a lot of these for sale now are unused.
I don’t know if all of these come from the same source, but ene is Butchers beloved 6 cavity EEG/UUG, many 257 designs in single cavity and a Lee 6 cavity 257 52 grain which would be good for those who have a 257 barrel on a platform that does not make a lot of power.
There are also many 30 caliber designs that would look very interesting if I had a 30.
I am rather mold heavy with having two NOE molds and a HP 257420 mold right now and the 410 Accurate mold, all I need for my needs is another accurate mold in 350 to 375 for the Ranger, but I could also live without it..
I sold three molds last week including that RCBS 257 85 grain Cowboy bullet and will sell some more this week.
The HP 257430 I have is the double HP with the extractor, it makes beautiful bullets quickly, but the weather has been shit and I have no idea how they fly.
I also found a great fix for loose wood to steel handles on bullet molds if anyone is having that problem.
