Lyman’s “Master Casting Kit’’

The Best Way to Get Started in Bullet Casting.

Lyman's economical Mini-Mag makes it possible for any reloader to start casting his own bullets. With an 10 pound capacity, the electric Mini-Mag can melt enough alloy to turn out plenty of top quality bullets quickly. Bringing a full load to casting temperature takes only about 30 minutes.

The kit’s low price also includes Lyman's popular improved 4500 Bullet Sizer/Lubricator. Simply add the right top punch and sizing die and the 4500 will smoothly size down your bullet to the correct diameter while it evenly applies the provided Super Moly lubricant.

In addition to the Mini-Mag and the 4500 Sizer/Lubricator, the kit features a long handled casting dipper, a handy ingot mould and the widely acclaimed “Bible of bullet casting”; Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook. All this for less than the price of most casting furnaces.

Improved Sizing Dies

Lyman improved sizing dies now have 90° hole spacing. It’s now easy to lubricate bullets even with today's hard lubricants. Lyman sizing dies also feature a tapered mouth and hardened interior insuring alignment for perfect cylindrical shape. Interior dimensions correspond to suggested diameters for all popular rifle and pistol calibers. Refer to the chart below for proper size.

Lyman Top Punches are precisely machined to fit bullet nose shape exactly. This eliminates nose deformation. Refer to Lyman’s bullet mould listing for suggested top punch number.
