Hey folks,
I am doing a little bit of shopping around for mold handles (I'm a newbie to this), and was curious about something.
What is the difference between a set of large and small Lyman mold handles? (Or any handle, for that matter).
I keep on seeing them advertised as SMALL, LARGE, and 8" INCH.
I am looking for a set, specifically for the Lyman 525-grain sabot slug mold.
From what I can see, it is not the LENGTH of the handles that make them small or large. (I may be wrong). But I am noticing that the MOLD GRIPPING SIZE of the handle when they are closed (the wood handles are together) is either wider or narrower.
Is this what determines the handle size?
I was looking at purchasing a set of Lee mold handles. But if I can get some used Lyman mold handles for cheaper, then I will jump on a set.
Just curious.
Thanks.
