Mold Handles

[Yonk]

I have a few NEI molds that I recently purchased. The two cavity molds work fine with my RCBS mold handles, but the the 4 cavity mold has a thinner cut out where the molds attach. I measured it with my calipers and it is ~.25 inch where the mold handles are ~.31 inch in diameter. I don't want to grind down my handles and I was wondering what mold handles I should go with.

Newtire:

My 1982 NEI catalog says "Please note that RCBS and Lyman handles both fit NEI 2 cavity molds. 4 cavity Lyman handles fit the 4 cavity NEI mold."
Good luck, Doug

I actually did a duckduckgo search for (nei mold handles) and it found it that way. The search feature here can be hit or miss.

I don't know about NEI but the $20.00 Lee 6 Cavity Bullet Mould Handles fit all my Lyman 1 & 2 cavity mould blocks with no modifications at all .
I would get a set of Lee and if necessary ... modify them .
I recieved a set of the Lee Mould Handles last week ... ordered off Amazon ... I'm installing handles on all my most used Lyman and NOE moulds (they fit NOE blocks also w/ no modifications)

I ordered some Lyman 4 cavity mold handles, if those don't work I will try the Lee.

The Lyman handles worked perfectly.
