I went to try out my new RCBS 32-170-FN mold and none of my handles fit this
mold. Do RCBS molds only use RCBS handles?

What handles do you have?

When you say, "don't fit", in what way do they not fit? I've enlarged the mould mounting hole on a couple of my handles and they work perfectly. I've also shimmed with brass to make a couple fit the handles. If you're wanting to get the job done there are many ways to work with what you have.

Lyman and Lee 6-cavity handles are too thick. However, the Lees can easily be filed or ground to fit. Also, the Lees can be filed and ground to fit Lyman 4-cavity moulds.

Lee, Lyman, KAL. Hmmm, I only tried the Lee and Lyman. Maybe the KAL
will fit.

The Lyman 4 cavity handles would work for the RCBS molds if memory is right. Otherwise you'll have to either "modifiy" or buy some RCBS handles.

I modified LEE handles to fit RCBS blocks.

The four cavity Lyman handles did the job. The four cavity H&G handles would work also.
Thanks to all for the tips.

My Lyman handles fit Lyman, RCBS and Seaco molds, but I had to modify the handles.
