David, I believe I have at least one I do not use. If no one else responds I will get back with you when I get home and verify next weekend. Bob

[david eye 10882]

ok I will wait to see what you may have thanks

[Robt. Propst]

Jet lagged, so found the mould(s) at four this morning. I have a Lyman 515139C and a Lyman 515139D. I don't know what the difference might be between those and a 515141, or the difference between the C and D on the moulds. Haven't used either in years, likely won't ever, so if you want one be really cheap. Email me off line at nssa6721v at g mail dot com. Bob

Bob
someone answered one of my threads when i asked what the c ment on the lyman mold i was selling,the answer was it's the batch that that group of molds were made like 515139c made 2000 515139d made 2002 ect.
The mold you mention i had some yrs ago,thought it would be a good mold for my maynard n0 soap, that mold was made for the 50-90 win or whatever mfg of that time, was longer then the 515139 & much more weight. Hope this helps.

The letters tell Lyman what cherry was used to cut the mold and the vintage. The molds should be the same.

[david eye 10882]

Bob would you sale 50 bullets

[Scott Harris]

Allen, the 141 is definitely a longer bullet than the 139. If I didn't sell it with my smith you can borrow it. I will look tonite and pm you

there are a couple 515141 for sale on ebay looks like one 360 grain and one 450

[RaiderANV]

The .515139 weighs in at 350 according to the box yet mine casts at 325
The .515141 weighs in at 450. The difference other then weight is the 141 is one more grease ring long then the 139.
The 139 is what we have referred to as the Smith/Maynard bullet forever. The 141 works greaat in 50/70 & 50/90 cartridge rounds.
I have known a few people to use the 141 in their Maynard with full capacity cases and 38 grains of powder to lob that chunk of lead. Do yourself a huge favor and use the 139. Lodgewood makes it in a four and six cavity mold. Aong Saturday of casting and you won't have to pick the mold up for another year.
