I've read the Lee 6 Cav handles fit this mold and they're lots cheaper. OR, do I spend the extra $$ for the Lyman's? Is there any modification required for the Lee's to fit?

When you squeeze the handles together with a mould in place the Lee Handles will give and possibly torque, putting strain on the lyman moulds, combined with the weight of the mould, I would be concerned about incomplete mould closure or worse,improper alignment when closing the mould. When closed I can squeeze another 1/2" on the Lee handles......this does not happen with the Lyman handles and the 4 cav. mould.

The Lee 6-cavity do NOT fit the Lyman 4-cavity moulds. To use them, you would have to make the Lee handles thinner and also drill the hole bigger. Then they would not fit the Lee mould. My advice is to buy a set of Lyman 4-cavity handles.
