WTB: RCBS Mold Handles

[AlaskaMike]

I somehow lost a pair of RCBS mold handles.

If anyone has a spare pair they could part with, please send me a PM and let me know what you'd like for them.

I also have the following that I could offer for trade:

1. RCBS .358" sizing die
2. .300 WM brass
3. .30-30 brass
4. .308 commercial brass
5. .303 British brass (some stripper clips too)
6. .44 cal Magtech 240 grain JSP
7. .40/10mm 200 grain Speer Gold Dot JHP
8. Older Pachmayr Signature grips for Security or Service six

Somewhere I know I also have a Limbsaver recoil pad for Ruger M77. It didn't fit quite right on my older tang safety M77, so I took it off and put it back in the packaging. Essentially brand new.

If you have a set of handles and could use any of the above, let me know.

I should have photos up over the next couple of days, as work allows.

Thanks,
Mike

Given that new RCBS mold handles are $50+ these days, I would prefer to trade with some of the stuff below that I have no need for at this point.


For item #1, the RCBS .358" sizing die, I actually have two that I would part with--a .357" and a .358", both RCBS.
I didn't take photos of these but can certainly do so. The .357" die was my first die and has a bit of residual
Lyman Super Moly lube. The .358" die has some residual White Label Lube Carnauba Red lube on it.

#2 .300 Win Mag brass. This is a photo of about half of what I have. I think this is probably about 30 cases, but I didn't count.



#3 .30-30 brass. No photos for this--it looks like I've only got maybe 10 cases. Very clean and in good condition.


#4. .308 commercial brass. Looks like it might be mostly Winchester. This is half a Folgers coffee can, maybe 200 cases.



#5. .303 British brass. As the photo shows, I have a small amount of brass that is clean and bright.
The rest of it is not so clean. It does include steel stripper clips as shown in the photo.
Please note the neck corrosion on a couple of the "not so clean" brass.



#6. .44 Cal Magtech 240 grain JSP bullets. I have two bags like the one shown in the photo.
I think these are 100 per bag.



#7. .40/10mm Speer Gold Dot 200 grain bullets.



#8. Pachmayr grips for Ruger Six series square butt.

Wow, are there really no folks here who have some spare RCBS mold handles?

Just for FYI .....I used to be a stickler for rcbs handles but have found that Lee handles work just as good , are of top quality plus a lot cheaper.... to the point that i sold all my RCBS handles ... I have over a dozen Lee handles using them on RCBS and Accurate Brand mold blocks...

Agree, Lee handles work fine with my RCBS mold.

[AlaskaMike]

Are you talking about the Lee handles for the smaller molds, or the 6 cavity molds? I have three sets of Lee handles for the 6 cavity molds, and they won't fit any of my RCBS molds. I did think about taking a file to them and shaving off a couple thousandths, but that seems a little extreme to me.

I was really hoping to find that someone here might have a set of RCBS handles they'd be willing to trade for.

That's exactly what I did I took some Lee mold handles and removed material with the file until they fit my RCBS 150 KT bullet mold. This was back in the time in 2020 when everything was on Galactic back order.

My last lee handles didn't need filing... i also modified SACO handles with filing to fit mold blocks... worked just as good.. plus didn't have to pay for over priced handles and wait for shipping... not extreme to me ... just a little time ... make sure they are not binding..... are loose on the shank and fit mating up then you are done

[Hal]

Mike I'm sending you a PM... regarding your posted items....

[AlaskaMike]

Thanks very much for the responses. I guess I'll just put some of my stuff up for sale and then buy some new RCBS handles.
