Any good replacement? I also do not want cheap and save a few $$ to have them not be right while in use.
Bite the bullet and get the ones that belong on the moulds:lovebooli

The RCBS handles are really nice. Red River Ricks are really nice as well ;)

The Lee 6 cavity are a hair too thick but will fit with a little filing. They are inexpensive and run around $12. While they are cheap they are very well made and I have yet to hear a complaint about them.

They are a bit long with the Lyman 1&2 cav but work great.

The Lee 6 cavity mold handles can be modified to fit all molds. On most like RCBS you just have to do some filing or grinding. One other thing that happens to Lee handles is that the wood part keeps coming off from the metal. My fix on that is to use a 2 part epoxy and that problem goes away.

I should have posted more info when I started the thread sorry.
This is the mould I need handles for an RCBS 2 cavity mould says used in add but sure looks good.
I also need some for a 4 cavity lyman. I like the idea of getting them both from the same source.

Get the Lee six cavity mold handles. I just installed a pair on a Lyman mold (42498) that I got in a trade. I only had to file on one side for about 4 minutes.
Fired up the pot today and cast about 30 boolits, going to open the mold up with these 30.
The handles worked real good.
