    these handles have their place.
    if your just casting a pile of 44's for your ruger that ain't the place.

    if you need a mold to be held consistently in position for pouring 400gr boolits with less than 1 gr weight variance then they are for you.

    I would have to agree. I have seen these in steel and they are definitely heaver than standard handles. My weight variation running handgun bullets from a 4 cavity brass molds is typically well under one half grain. Unless there is some physical need, for me I can't see using anything that slows down the process or adds more weight.

    I have an older pair sold by Buffalo Arms, I use them for BPCR single cavity molds and they are super with Accurate brass molds,I like them and use them for any mold I can fit them to.

    The traditional mold handles work just fine for me.
