For Ideal Mold #358495
Just won it on Fee Bay for $27
Ideal only or can I also use Lyman?

Went ahead and ordered a pair of the LEE 6 cav handles. I figured I can cut them down, and if I need to weld a spacer on them to fill up the extra space. Any had to play with this before?

I used Lee mold handles on a couple different molds. I had to take a couple thousands off so they would fit in the mold handle slot. I used a flat file and a vice to hold them. You would never know i filed anything on them. I think you can use the Lee handles on most molds with just a little tweekin.

If LEE handles won't fit Lyman molds outright, they will almost fit. Mine all fit.
A little work with a file.

So did you leave the hole locations the same or did you move them rearward?

Leave the same holes , unless you need to move them.

Thanks randyrat. Since I've got this mold coming, I guess I'll probably be needing to order some more of you awesome BW soon. As every quality boolit needs a quality lube :drinks:

Ok, I have to ask. Where did you find the Lee handles? I can't seem to find them anywhere.

And now I have to order another pair, as I just bought a 358311 for $35 from a guy here in Tulsa. Finding REALLY good deals right now.
