    Lyman receiver sight siezed

    I recently purchased a Savage 1899 in 250-3000. The original ramp sight is missing, but the rifle has a Lyman 2A style sight attached. It shoots to point of aim at 100 yards with Remington factory ammunition, so that's good. However, there is rust in the threads where the elevation adjustment...

    Colt Trooper MkIII with Lyman 358429 358439 length?

    Hello. I just ordered a Trooper MkIII and found a Lyman single cavity 358439 HP mold! The buller was meant to be used with 38 cases because of its length. I did read that some revolvers have long enough cylinders to allow the use of 357 cases. Is the MkIII one of them? Or will I have to use 38s...

    Great Plains Kit

    Hello, all I decided to build a percussion rifle kit, recently, and picked up Lyman's Great Plains. Everything looks pretty solid, but The wood to metal fit isn't particularly flush which is kind of a concern for me. If the inletting were a little too small, it'd be a simple matter of...

    9mm C.O.L.

    I am getting ready to start working up a 9mm Luger load using HP-38 with some 115 grain bulk bullets that I bought some time ago. The bullets look like Hornady XTP bullets except that the transition from the body of the bullet to the ogive is not quite as abrupt as on the Hornady. The bullets...
