Lyman handles, Lee mold

[Sothoth]

I have a 6-cavity Lee mold on the way and just rec'd my Lyman handles which it says are for 2-cavity Lyman molds. Will this not fit Lee 6-cavity molds? I think my molds will be delivered in 1-2 weeks so I have plenty of time to get the right handles. I guess I shouldn't assume anything about compatibility between manufacturers stuff.

Thanks in advance!!

I have both Lyman 2 cavity molds w/ handle and 6 cavity molds w/ handles. The Lyman handles are too short to attach the Lee 6 ganger molds. The Lee handles have a longer support to allow for the longer 6 ganger so the Lyman 2 and 4 ganger molds should fit. It's too late and I'm too tired tonight to check it out. Too much cheer I guess.

While the fingers of Lyman handles will fit in the grooves of Lee six-cavity moulds, they will be far too short for the screw holes to align, not to mention screw incompatibility.

Now, the opposite -- Lee six-cavity handles and a Lyman mould -- does work.

Edit to add: Seems I'm a slow composer.

I think we have a "sticky" for this question. Below is a link to a great search engine for our forum; MC gets the credit for it.

Thanks for the replies. I'm sure I'll have plenty more questions when the rest of my stuff arrives and the casting fun has begun. :)

I have a set of Lee handles,I'm a caster, what do you have to trade? Or make an offer.

[Sothoth]

Since I'm a noob I don't have much to trade except a nice pair of Lyman handles for 2-cavity molds. :)

I can PM you with a cash offer :)

[bandsmoyer]

Do that.
