I just ordered a 4 cav. brass .358 HP mold from MP overseas. I already have Lee handles. Will those work? If not, what are my options?
Thanks!!

Lee works best, opens wider. It's what I use.

Mal Paso means Bad Pass, just so you know.
mihec sells handles too.

I have both Lee and MP handles for mine. I find the MO handles are made better and handles slip off less but both do the job.
Appreciate the replies. I'll give the Lee a try and upgrade if need be.
Thanks
If the wood starts slipping on the handles just put some Gorilla Glue in them and drive them back on firmly. I haven't had one come loose yet that I have done this to.
The Gorilla Glue fix is new to me, too. I've used JB Weld to reattach wood handles to the tangs.
MP molds are pretty meaty; maybe a bit tiring or awkward to use for small hands. I hadn't appreciated that they don't open as wide; a possible issue with the eight bangers?
If I have a set of Lee handles with loose wood I've found that JB Weld is the best thing to make them stay put.
