Hey fellas:
I have a 4 cavity Lyman mould coming from BCall. Are the Lyman 4 cavity handles
the only ones that will fit?
It seems, I read or heard somewhere that there were other handles
(RCBS, Lee,Saeco) that fit these moulds. Can someone let me know.
Much obliged.
Jack

The 4 cavity have a narrower channel. The Lee fit the Lyman 1 & 2 cavity and the RCBS with some grinding. I don't know if any others fit. Best to p/u a set of used lymans.

The Lyman 4 cavity molds do take a thinner pronged fork to fit them. I've fitted Lee 6 cavity mold handles for every mold I've ever used. It takes quite a bit of grinding to fit the Lyman 4 cavity molds to Lee handles but it can be done easily enough if you are comfortable working with handtools.

I have a 2 month old unused Lyman 4 cav handle. You can have it for $20 shipped.
