What handles will fit? Do they need to be Hoch or can other brands of handles work?

You can modify Lyman's old style handles to fit a Hoch mould, but you have to grind away a semicircular area in one of the jaws to clear the pillar that the sprue cutter swings on. I haven't tried it, but would think the same cut would have to be made in the newer Lyman handles, RCBS handles and Lee handles as well. The jaws on the older Lyman handle I ground were a good fit in the slots in my Hoch mould, and the attachment screw holes were in the right places as well.

I used RCBS handles for mine with the mod mentioned by BR. Worked great.
