Mold/handle screws

Post by az2vet »

I recently bought a pair of used molds. a 9mm 124 grain and a 45acp 230 grain, both round nose. Neither came with handles, no biggie. I bought a set of handles at Cabelas and when I got them home and opened the box there were no screws in the box. Only one set of the molds I got has the screws with them. This is not that big a deal at the moment but I know I will end up getting another handle and not have the screws to attach the mold with.
So what do the screws come with, the mold or the handle? And if I need a set of the screws where do I get them?
I have looked on the Lee site and could not find that they sell just the screws.

You could contact the mold manufacturer to find screws, or take one from the other mold (if it is the same screw) and go to a good hardware store (all the Ace Hardware stores I'be been to have a good selection of screws and good personnel). All the molds I've purchased, the handles were sold separate, except my Lee molds, and screws came with the mold. IRC, my Lee molds use long pins riveted in place instead of screws.

The 6c moulds come with screws .
I would call/email Lee . Most of the other makers use standard SAE screws .
