What is the mold number for the Lyman mold that is like the Hornady great plains bullet? I believe it is 450 grain. id also like the 540 grain one as well. does Lyman make a mold that is maxiball 555 grain in .58 ive got 200 lbs of lead from roto metals in and all of my casting stuff thank you for any help
 
The 50 cal is 2654656 and the bullet weighs a nominal 395 grains. The 54 cal is 2654657 and weighs a nominal 450 grains. I got mine from The Gun Works in Oregon. That's a link to their mold page, but sometimes links to their site lead instead to the main page. If that happens, scroll down the left side Shooting Supplies, then on to Casting Equipment, then Lyman.
 
The Lee 6 cavity mould handles fit the Lyman and are allot cheaper and made very well. Lyman had small and large handles. Generally the large handles would fit both the large and small cavity moulds but not the other way around. There are some variations with them from over the years too.

To fit the Lee handles to my Lyman molds I had to drill new holes in the handles to get the Lyman molds to fit - no "biggie" :v
