Today, the weather, my schedule and interests converged. I dug out a Lyman 38 wadcutter mold to cast a few. Bought the mold off EBAY some time ago, oiled it and put it away. None of my handles fit! The groove is too narrow for my Lee or Lyman large handles. Does anyone make thinner handles or do I just modify a set of Lee handles?

I have modified a few lee handles with a file in order to use them with some of my molds. You may need to do this also, or buy a pair of handles for a single cavity mold if that is what you have.

The correct Lyman handles are not that expensive, once you identify what Blocks you have.

This thread was a very helpful resource, but sadly since the photos have disappeared, it is not as helpful...but it gives you an idea of what there is.

Is it a Lyman 4 cavity mould?

I should have included that bit of info. It is a four cavity mold.
