I modified a set of Lee 6 cavity mold handles with a bit of grinding and filing. Other than the RCBS I don't think there are any others that will be a perfect match.

I have a few sets of handles that would work. They're made from brass, and look kind of like the older Lyman handles, only slightly larger. The actual jaws of the handles are thin enough for RCBS moulds, they only needed some grinding at the back so the moulds would go in deep enough, and still have enough 'play' so the moulds would align when closing. I don't know who made/makes these handles, but I really like them. I use them for Lyman moulds, and SAECO 2 cavity moulds.

Veral Smith says his molds are made for RCBS handles but RCBS handles cost 3 times as much as Lee. If Lees 6 cavity will work thats what ill order.
