Lyman – a leader in bullet casting – has added 3 new items to their respected line of bullet casting gear. The new items include the new “Big Dipper” electric casting furnace, a casting kit featuring the new furnace and a new cast iron lead pot.
The new “Big Dipper” is an economical electric casting furnace which offers a more than 10 lb. capacity with wide mouth designed for easy ladling. The new furnace also features a top mounted thermostat with an easy “on-off” temperature dial that can control alloy temperatures to +/-10 degrees. The heavy duty aluminum construction offers a stable, compact non-tip design with fast a heat-up using standard household current.
The “Big Dipper Casting Starter Kit” offers the economy-minded bullet caster everything needed to start casting top quality bullets. In addition to the new “Big Dipper” furnace, with its 10+ pound capacity, the kit includes a Lyman Casting Dipper, Ingot Mold for storing excess lead, Super Moly Bullet Lube and the Lyman Reloading and Cast Bullet Guide. All the starting bullet maker needs to add is lead alloy and a bullet mould in his chosen caliber.
A 10 Pound Cast Iron Lead Melting Pot has also been added to the Lyman casting line. Taking advantage of the thermal properties of cast iron, this new pot allows a caster to use his own heat source to melt and alloy up to 10 pounds of material while keeping his casting furnace free of impurities often found in scrap material. The pot is designed with a rugged wire bail, grasping tab and convenient pour spout for safe dispensing of molten alloy into ingots.
The new “Big Dipper” electric furnace, Casting Starter Kit and 10 Pound Lead Pot, as well as all Lyman products, are available nationally through firearms and sporting goods dealers and mail order companies. Pachmayr, TacStar, Trius Traps, A-Zoom Precision Snap Caps, Butch’s Gun Care, Uni-Dot and Targdots are also Lyman brands.
