This is a shout out to Forum member, and friend of mine @sdporter for an AWESOME Job on a Lyman Roundball Mold Modify he did for me, Thank you Stacey
To appreciate this you have to know how Horrible Lyman Roundball Mold Sprues are, They are RIDICULOUSLY Bad.
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 sent a Brand new Old Stock Lyman .530 Mold to a friend of mine (@sdporter ) 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
Lyman‘s Pic here is actually a Legit description
Here is the Mold i sent to @sdporter and he Modified for me, He milled the Top of the Mold Blocks down til the Top of the Cavity was a Knife edge
I just got done Casting with it, They Look AWESOME! The Sprue Nub is Barely detectable now, They will completely disappear after a few minutes in my Vibratory Tumbler. Thank you MUCH Stacey, You do AWESOME Work my Friend
