For the most part i am a Lyman Mold fan, but when it comes to their Roundball Molds i am NOT, and this is why. I go RCBS for my Roundball Molds, They cast a REALLY nice Ball :lewis:

Lyman leaves the Top of their Mold Blocks “Proud” It’s to bad They don’t mill the Top of their blocks down until the top of the Roundball cavity is a “Knife edge” But FACT is they Don’t, as you can see here in this pic i red Arrowed

The results are NASTY Sprue Nubs, to me this is unacceptable, I don’t like this at all. I sent a Brand new Lyman .530 to a friend of mine to Mill the Top of the Blocks down for me to correct this problem, I need to get it out and Cast with it. Again, RCBS Roundball Molds are my “GO TO” They address this :lewis:
