    in search of handles to fit Jones or BACO molds

    Hello all am searching for handles that fit these two 50 caliber molds. The one on the left is stamped P&D Jones 50624 The other is etched Jim 510540 BACO. The holes are just a little bit long to fit ideal or Lyman handles. Can anyone recommend some that fit? I am unfamiliar with the mold maker but the molds came with 50-70 brass I would like to cast for. Thanks! MikeClick image for larger version.

    Did you try the Lee 6 cavity mould handles? They normally can be modified.

    :Paul Jones was building moulds that took SAECO handles. :Paul cut three moulds for me and the three of them take any of the SAECO handles that I have.

    Perfect! I just found that BACO is for Buffalo Arms co. And Saeco handles fit. Now to find a reasonable priced pair.....

    for the price of just the Saeco handles I could buy TWO complete Lee molds with handles. Seems silly not to buy the Lee mold unless someone here has a set of used Saeco handles that they would part with for around $20.....

    Anything made by Paul Jones will be highly precision and made for a specific line of rifles, usually Shiloh Sharps but he also cut for Petersoli and probably others.

    I used a set of Lee commercial handles for my new BACO mould. Holes in the handles were a bit small but there's a drill press on the bench where I cast. Problem solved before the pot got hot.
