Saeco molds

[Jack Stanley]

I'm curious , will Saeco moulds accept any handles ?

Sure they will. They'll accept Saeco handles.:kidding:...Ray

I took delivery of my first Saeco mold recently. It is a single cavity and I do not have Saeco handles for it.

In trying out some of the other handles I do have on these blocks it looks like either Lee 6C handles or my Lyman DC handles (from KAL) will fit the block slots (RCBS handles fit a little loose). None of them have a large enough diameter hole for the retaining screws. I plan to drill an extra set of larger diameter holes in one of my existing set of handles rather than buy Saeco handles.

Thanks ktw , it's been twenty-five years since I've had a Saeco mold and I seemed to remember the handle slots were unique to their brand of handles .

I have a Saeco 2 cavity that I Lee six cavity handles with. I had to enlarge the holes in the handles and the length of the handles makes the mold a little heavy but the blocks line up good and they cast swell boolits ;)

You can use LEE 6 cavity handles if you drill out the hole in the handles.

I put another set of holes in my RCBS handles (bigger holes) to use on Saeco moulds.
