Description

A specialized reloading accessory manufactured by Lyman, the renowned maker of shooting and reloading equipment.

The mold is designed to cast two bullets simultaneously (double cavity). Stamped markings on the metal blocks include the manufacturer name LYMAN on the upper section and the specific mold code 401654AV, along with the number 183 and partial stamp DJ on the lower section. The accompanying original orange plastic storage box features a complete paper label detailing the specifications: ITEM # 2660554, Cavities 2, and caliber/bullet details 10MM/.40, SWC. BB (Semi-Wadcutter Bevel Base), and 150 GR (150 Grain weight). This mold is highly sought after by handloaders specializing in 10mm and .40 S&W cartridges.
