Ordered MP 4 cav mold....what handles?

[emt1581]

I just ordered a 4 cav. brass .358 HP mold from MP overseas. I already have Lee handles. Will those work? If not, what are my options?

Thanks!!

Lee works best, opens wider. It's what I use.

mihec sells handles too.

I have both Lee and MP handles for mine. I find the MO handles are made better and handles slip off less but both do the job.

Appreciate the replies. I'll give the Lee a try and upgrade if need be.

Thanks

If the wood starts slipping on the handles just put some Gorilla Glue in them and drive them back on firmly. I haven't had one come loose yet that I have done this to.

I'm a big fan of Gorilla Glue!!! Use it all the time. Never tested it with extreme heat. It holds up?

Thanks

The Gorilla Glue fix is new to me, too. I've used JB Weld to reattach wood handles to the tangs.

MP molds are pretty meaty; maybe a bit tiring or awkward to use for small hands. I hadn't appreciated that they don't open as wide; a possible issue with the eight bangers?

If I have a set of Lee handles with loose wood I've found that JB Weld is the best thing to make them stay put.
