    rcbs molds with lee handles

    Lee says the 6 cavity handles fit rcbs mold blocks. Ive been sanding the metal for 3 hrs and still not close. What gives?

    You only have about another 9 hrs and 0.015" to go. The Lee 6 Bangers are too thick to fit into the slots on your RCBS mould. The tong portion that fits into your RCBS mould should measure about 0.295" and your Lee handles measure around 0.310".

    You need a file!
    Sorry for the fluff folks, I couldn't help it. I've never seen a set of Lee six cavity handles, I made the ones I use, to cheap to pay for store bought. Will lees fit RCBS?

    My lee handles fit just fine! I took an old extral lee mould that had been altered and out of shape and removed the handles and shimmed them to fit. If I remember right I had to drill the wholes out bigger too. I read this post and had to go check because I knew I had acouple RCBS moulds and couldn't remember what I did to get them to work!
