New Lyman Handles

[ColColt]

I had to order some new large handles since my old Lymans broke. These new ones are humongous in size compared to the old ones....much bigger than necessary for a two cavity mold. They're about a foot long and handles are larger in diameter and the metal where the mold fits looks like you could put a six cavity mold on it. I don't know what Lyman was thinking making a mold handle that large.They're actually larger than the Lee six cavity handles.

Yup! Lyman quit making the nut cracker handles for the four cavity moulds and copied the Saeco handles. I prefer the nut cracker style and have a half dozen sets.

The new handles for 1-2 are the same length as the ones they sell for a six cavity it is the thickness and location of the holes that are not the same.
Now after saying that I have to say that the 1-2 cavity ones work fine with the exception of the brass rivets that get hot.
They are also no longer than the RCBS ones I have grown to love
