    Mold Handles

    I have a few NEI molds that I recently purchased. The two cavity molds work fine with my RCBS mold handles, but the the 4 cavity mold has a thinner cut out where the molds attach. I measured it with my calipers and it is ~.25 inch where the mold handles are ~.31 inch in diameter. I don't want to grind down my handles and I was wondering what mold handles I should go with.

    Good luck, Doug

    No need to search, just left click on the blue text link.
    Spell check doesn't work in Chrome, so if something is spelled wrong, it's just a typo that I missed.

    I actually did a duckduckgo search for (nei mold handles) and it found it that way. The search feature here can be hit or miss.

    I don't know about NEI but the $20.00 Lee 6 Cavity Bullet Mould Handles fit all my Lyman 1 & 2 cavity mould blocks with no modifications at all .
    I would get a set of Lee and if necessary ... modify them .
    I recieved a set of the Lee Mould Handles last week ... ordered off Amazon ... I'm installing handles on all my most used Lyman and NOE moulds (they fit NOE blocks also w/ no modifications)

    I ordered some Lyman 4 cavity mold handles, if those don't work I will try the Lee.

    The Lyman handles worked perfectly.
