I have a couple RCBS 2 cavity and never had to make any modifications with the lee 6 cavity handles.

Yes it will work

Some RCBS molds are tighter than others. I have a couple that wouldn't fit on Lee handles, and others that will. Five minutes with a file smoothing the Lee handles makes all of them work.

Why not just buy RCBS handle's?

Because RCBS handles command twice (or more) the price and price is important to a lot of casters...

Thanks imashooter2! Yes $12.00 vs $38.99 (Midway). Not too hard to figure out why I might want to go with the Lee.

I happen to know where two brand new sets of handles are that can be had for free!!

Just got two pair (NIB) confiscated at LAX within the last 24 hours!!.
Apparently regulations state anything longer than 7" can't be carried on board as hand luggage. Silly mistake on my part, meant to put them in the booked on suitcase but packed in a hurry and didn't have time to go back through the queues to fix the problem. had to kiss them goodbye. Buggar.

Peter, I wonder what they think you were going to do with those dangerous items?!

In the early 90's I did a multi-country world tour by air and being on a tight budget bought local foods and made many a sandwich using an Opinel No.12 knife. This knife was carried on in my belly bag on board and security never bothered me about it. Times have sure changed - for the worse.

But if it's RCBS and twice the price it must be like a million time's better then that LEE c@#p!. Right? ;)

Without doubt, the RCBS handles are of considerably higher quality. I'm just not willing to pay the price they want for that quality when the lesser quality Lee handles do yeoman service.

Some folks badmouth Lee products but we owe them a lot. The name brand co's would go hog wild with prices if it wasen't for Lee, they hold the line. I honestly like Lee dies and would order them if the same price. Frank C.

I prefer Lee handles over RCBS. They work better. Something about the geometry, but I can't pin it down.

And yes, I own Lee, RCBS, and Lyman handles. Lyman are the worst!

[detox]

Handles will slip off both the Lee and RCBS versions. I epoxied my wood handles in place...maybe this will hold without putting a pin in.

My Lee handles will not fit my RCBS moulds, but will fit most other mould brands. Lee handles are a great bargin.

My RCBS molds will not fit Lee handles so I have both brands of handles. I use RCBS handles for RCBS molds. I use Lee handles for all other molds.
