Need some info on 2 lyman HP molds I have.

mikenbarb · August 24, 2008, 10:41 PM

I have 2 Lyman molds that are like new(Im sure their old) but I cant find any info on and wondering if anyone can help me. The first is a Lyman P/N- 358439 with a 664 under the p/n and a small 22 above it. I know its a hollow point 357 bullet and the 22 is the pin size. Im looking for a new spru cutter for it but heres the thing, It has a regular spru cutter but with a small wooden handle on the end so you dont have to hammer it

The next is a Lyman 410 32 with a small 665 on the bottom and a #1 next to it on the corner. I know its a 210 gr. and it has the same weird small wood handle on the end of the spru cutter. I have never seen ones like these before and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
PS- I have both hollow point pins with the wood handles and the one has a #1 and the other has a #22 on it and wondering if they still make them.

Lyman model numbers tell you something about the mould. For instance the 358439 tells you it casts a .358 diameter bullet and the top punch needed for the sizing tool is #439. The 22 tells you which hollow point pin to use.

I don't know about the P/N.

I also have never seen one with wood on the sprue cutter.

Jamaica, I have seen lots of Lyman molds also but the wood handles are whats got me stumped. Their definatly factory because theirs no signs of anyone making them themself. They work great and thats why im wondering if their still made so I can get a few more for my other ones. Im stumped

I'd post a picture of one over on the cast boolits forum. I'm betting floodgate or one of the other collectors of such molds will know exactly what you've got.
