Lyman Ingot Mold

As usual from Lyman a good sturdy well made product. Not the cheapest on the market but also not the dearest. Good sized ingots that fall easily from the mould and. There is nothing worse than trying to get a burning hot ingot to release from the mould causing damage on the way.

Excellent Fast Delivery Great Service thanks

does what it should

Used this out in the woods to cast some lead ingots, used the smoke from the fire to soot the mold and to preheat it. It made beautiful ingots with no problem. I would give this a 4.5 stars but amazon doesn't let you do that and not 5 stars is due to the handle that comes with it, the brass ring which prevents the wooden handle from splitting came loose and doesn't want to go back onto the handle but in reality this is a non issue and doesn't effect how the mold works. Another wooden handle can easily be made with any stick and drilling a hole for the "tang" (if that's the correct word) to fit into If you don't care for the wooden handle then this mold gets an easy 5 star from me

Does the job nicely. Appears to be a decent bit of kit that should last a long time if treated properly

Mold is good.

Me gustó mucho

Prodotto di buona qualità che rispetta prezzo e materiale

Muy bien, rapido y correcto.

I picked up this ingot mold to help keep track of soft lead vs clip on weights. Already had a Lee ingot mold and will be using it for soft lead and the Lyman for harder lead. The finish on the mold is very good. And like other reviews after using it a bit I did have to reseat the handle with a soft mallet but the same is true of the Lee. The handle is very sturdy and even with all cavities filled it did not feel unstable. The mold itself is like the other in that to get good looking ingots you would have to pour and remelt half a dozen to get it up to temperature but once it is at temperature it drops a very nice looking even ingot. Being aluminum once you have filled it a few times it is so hot it will take a few minutes to solidify the lead but that is also true of any aluminum ingot mold. All in all the fit and finish is a bit better than the Lee and I feel the price is very fair for what you get. The Lee does have a half ingot feature that may help some but for me is a non-issue as I havent had a need for the feature. I have included a photo of both side by side for comparison of size and of ingots dropped. Bear in mind the Lee is almost pure lead so thats what causes it to have more shine to it. Hopefully this helps someone find what they need. Happy casting!

Have a lee one as well but this one is finished off better than the lee and pours better ingots. Lee ones come out a bit ruff looking. Lyman made more solid too
