Found a deal on Mould handles

[andremajic]

I bought 2 of em :P

They charged me 11.00 shipping. Ouch! So, I figured that I'd buy 2 to make it worth it.

I plan on modifying them to fit my existing moulds, even though they're not LEE.
I'm pretty handy with a file, drill press, and dremel, so modifying them should be a snap. Being that they're six cavity handles there should be plenty of extra material to work with.

I looked on ebay and just regular mould handles were going for over 20.00 each, not counting shipping costs.

Last time I checked, there were 9 available.

What kind of moulds are you using them on?
If they're Lyman 2 or one holes they'll fit right in. I'm not sure on the 4 holers.
If they're RCBS they won't, but I wouldn't modifiy the mould, modify the handles.
Just grind, or file a little off the handle to make it slightly thinner. The hole in the handles will line up just fine. But you'd be better off modifing a 12 dollar mould handle than a more expensive mould. Yes the Lee will work on both (I use them on both myself). But you never know you may want to sell or trade the mould someday, and it'll be worth more if you don't modify it in this manner.

I bought 2 and there should be 5 left.

Those are the handles for the 6-cavity moulds Lee makes. I had to grind these thinner just to get them to fit the Lee mould so they would pivot and close properly on a couple of the group buy moulds I have. Once I did that, everything was great. They are a great handle for the price.

Midway has them on sale right now for $11.49! Shipping will probably be about the same.

Yeah, but as a dealer (C&R) I have to order a minimum of $40.00 to order. Small stuff I get elsewhere. No such restriction as a dealer with Midsouth.

Glad to help.

I'm planning on using them with a lyman mould that I bought.

They are handles made for the 6 cavity Lee moulds.

Since they are six cavity, I plan on modifying one, and saving the other for when I have a large mould available.

Update. They just came in today, and fit directly on my lyman mould without modification! Nice!
