Tonight my Dad handed me a old Tompson Center 45 cal. Maxiball mold he plain forgot he had from 15-20 yrs ago never even been out the box till tonight. Will these handles fit on any other molds from other companys?

If my Memory serves me correctly, that will fit onto a Lyman large mold handle.

Can't say for sure it'll work that way unless you grind a little on them maybe. I did have a largish handle that was probably the Thompson Center (can't think of what else it could possibly been from). and I just took it over to the grinder and ground back the metal so it would fit the Lyman mold and it closes nice without flopping around or any seams.
