Can Lyman handles...

[Elk Country]

be modified to use Magma molds? I think I'm going to bite the bullet (no pun intended) and sell all the 45 molds I have to try to raise the money I need for a set of either 185gr. or 200gr. RN Magma molds, I haven't decided on the weight yet. Please tell me they can be modified or my plans may be out the window.

Thanks for the suggestions in advance,

Yes .........BUT........

You will have to drill and tap mounting holes in the mold.

If you order a new mould from Magma, and tell them you want to use it for hand casting and not on a machine, then they will supply it for use with handles, no drilling or tapping holes.

Thanks Rick,

When I order the mold I'll be sure to tell them I will be hand casting.

Good afternoon
Mold handles can be drilled, filed, and probably things I never thought of. So can other objects to make working mold handles.
Left : Rapine Mold handles were pinned on but modified to screw mounting and also now fit Saeco.
Middle : Lyman small handles drilled and filed at hinge base to accept Large molds.
Vice Grips were my first mold handles down here and still are in service.
Simple solutions are usually easy to do if you do not mind the effort.
Mike God Bless you.
