Not sure why, perhaps it's too late and I shoudl be in bed by now.
But if I'm correct, can Lee handles be filed down to fit Lyman or RCBS molds?
Thanks,
Murphy

Yes, the Lee 6 cavity handles work.
Cast is an adjective, a noun and a verb. Cast works as both imperative and past tense without any additional letters or helping verbs.
you dont have to do anything they work better than the regular handles i just found out today i got a Lyman 429640HP and didnt have the 2cav handles looked at myLee 6cav and bingo they are much better . You have long tap area and handles will not get hot. Best thing i have found since ifound out about girls rick
I was getting ready to post about that when i saw Murphys question . When you try them you will throw the single handles away. I did pin the 6 cav handles but they were loose anyway shotman/rick
Mold Handles... They are mine and I use them for whatever application... I have filed down a set of Lyman... drilled holes in Lyman... put shims on Lee handles... I see little need to BUY handles SPEACIAL for a mold... Maybe an Origonal might initially fit better but then I enjoy the challenge and my boolits end up round (mostly) but especially well adapted to the launcher.
After machineing the thickness down in my mill I have used Lee handles on RCBS and LBT molds. Have not tried them on Lyman [have several Lyman handles] but if I needed to I would make them work.

Works fine on 12 ga slug mold
Thanks Marc. I PM'ed Murphy with this question and he asked the group for me.....
Thanks for all the responses.

Lee handles work ,just make them to fit , only downside is that once you fit them to an RCBS thickness they don't work well on the Lee/Lyman moulds .
Only dumb question is the one not asked

You guys just saved me enough to pay for another GB.
As inexpensive and adaptable as they are, I get one or two extra pair when they're on sale to have when I need them. They're really a good buy. Learned it right here.
