A newbie here, who is getting ready for his first casting session in a week or two, depending upon when all the mail order stuff arrives. In my first order, I ordered a Lyman handle H-L. When I received it, I found that it fits one of my moulds, but it is a little too large for the rest of them. Looks like I need to order a different set of handles. What set of handles should I order to fit, for example, a Lyman 457191 or an Ideal 429421? The handles I got don't close tight enough by quite a bit.

Ly makes 2 cavity handles, older single cavity and 4 cavity handles. The older single cavity take the old 1 cav, style, the newer and AIRC the larger 1 cav molds, .45 +, take 2 cav handles and 4 cavity take either the old 4 cav nutcracker style or the new pliers style handles. Gianni

Thanks, Gianni. sounds like I got the newer handles for the larger moulds. Now I need to order a set of handles for the older, single cavity moulds I have.
