As I've posted, CabineTree line of products has been sold. The new owner is making the same stuff....almost!!

NEWLY DESIGNED mold handles are now available. Just before I sold, I was working on a new design. It is now avail able at www.cowboybullets.com (http://www.cowboybullets.com) in the ST Machining section. It's much lighter than the previous design and I think you will like it. Ed also has some other stuff you might like.

What about the BHN tester? I guess I should just go look.

EDIT- found it, LDTSTR. Same design?

That's a good lead tester, have one. Which brands do the mold handles fit?

Most any 1-2 hole, possibly some 4 hole.

I should note something after reading a lot of posts. Only the small holes are for mounting molds. The other holes serve 2 purposes: to hold the part while machining and also to help with cooling. I keep reading that people are trying to use the 1/4" holes and wondering why nothing fits.....

Can you be specific about what was changed? I have one of the older ones but it still take a Lee 6-cavity.

It is much lighter and the jaws, as he's making them, are slightly shorter. I have not tried a 6 hole in them as I don't have any. In any case, an extension could be welded on so that they would. The jaws are mild steel and would weld easily.
