Public Service msg about Lyman Mold parts

[Rick]

Only ever called Dillon once. Motor on my tumbler died, called Dillon and was told no warranty but they would be happy to sell me a new motor.

I have never called Lyman, even though I have a bunch of lyman stuff, but most of it is no longer in manufacture. I've been lucky and haven't needed anything.

My only dealing with Redding was 6 or 7 years ago. I needed all the screws for a (1980s manufactured) Saeco mold, it was in tough shape, but cavities were fine, I bought it at a gunshow. I emailed and conversed with a sales rep...I must have gotten luckly, as he understood what I needed, I offered to pay, he said that wasn't necessary and sent them out, every screw was correct.

another one ... CH4d.
I was given an old set of 222 dies from a fellow forum member, he said the expander plug was bad, but dies were in great shape otherwise. The Expander had been attacked with a vicegrips and was cracked and threads on stem were damaged. I called CH4d, they said no problem, and quoted me a price, I asked if they take paypal, he said CH4d didn't, but for such a small purchase, he said he'd accept the funds through his personal account and sent the parts out.

I sent an email over a week ago to Lyman about the 465451 ...... still waiting for more than the automatic we got it .......

 

[Pistolero]

HA! My bet is that the current people who work at Lyman have less clue that the folks here on
what a 465451 is for, unless they have some very old archives somewhere to look it up. Which
they very well MIGHT have. Certainly worth asking, but pretty unlikely that anyone there will
just KNOW what it is for.

Ben Amodi at Alliant came up with 32 Rem data in under 6 hours ....... from a Lyman manual no less .
