I have cast for many years but my primary experience is with Ideal/Lyman, Lee and one set of Ohaus mold blocks. I have single cavity and double cavity Ideal/Lyman blocks so I have both the "large" and "small" Lyman handles depending on the block size.

Can someone advise as to the interchangeability of Lyman handles, etc. with the different makes of blocks? I'm looking at a set of RCBS mold blocks - will Lyman handles work on these or do you need RCBS handles specifically for that make of blocks?

Could someone list what make of handles work on what makes of mold blocks?

Thanks!
