Mould Handles

[Leadmine]

Will Lyman or RCBS handles fit Saeco moulds?

Thanks!

NO, not without modification.

I use RCBS on my one Saeco mold. Had to adjust the holes in the handles.

I don't have any of the Lee commercial (six cavity) handles, but I recently saw some. They impressed me as pretty well made.

Since slight modifications are common when using one brand of handles with a different brand mould, It doesn't seem like it matters much...as long as you know what you're doing when you modify.

The jaws on the Lee handles are long enough to have two (maybe three) sets of holes, which might work for a variety of moulds.

Midway has them on sale right now for 11 bucks.

I often use modified Lee handles. They certainly are priced right and are a good foundation to build on (easily modified).

Leadmine,

RCBS handles can easily be modified for Saeco molds- simply drill another set of holes farther down from the tip, than the original holes. The new holes will have to be a larger diameter than RCBS, and closer to the inside edge of the jaws. Easiest thing to do is mount the molds(Saeco/Lyman) on the handles and mark hole location. Once modified, these new holes will work for all three-RCBS, SAeco, Lyman.

Hope this helps,
Jon
