Is there a sticky that tells what mold handles interchange with what molds? If not maybe we should have one.

Saeco molds take Saeco handles
RCBS Molds take RCBS Handles
Lyman molds take Lyman handles, Old sc take a sc handle, newer DC & large volumne sc take a DC handle. Ly 4 cavity take a 4 cavity handle
Lee 6 cavity molds take Lee 6 cavity handles as do NOE molds
Lee handles work OK on Lyman DC molds and can be made to fit RCBS & Saeco molds with some grinding and drilling
LBT molds take RCBS handles
RedRiverRick makes handles for any and all but only to the specs of whichever mold you specify.

Do RCBS handles need to be modified to work with Lyman 2 cavity molds? I saw a pic recently of a pair on a 2 cavity Lyman mold and was wondering just how big a mod. had to be done.

So I guess for the money just buy the Lee 6 cavity to fit Lyman 2 cavity?

Thanks, Longone

NO, I use RCBS handles on Lyman 2 cavity, LBT 2 cavity, Mountain 2 cavity and Old West 2 Cavity all without modifying anything

They are slightly thinner but I don't remember anyone needing to shim for a good fit. I have always had enough LY to go around.
