Another mold handle question

Post by Longcarbine »

My question is, why do Lee molds just not come with handles. Would make things a whole lot easier.

Only the 6 cavity come with out handles. Just Lee policy I guess.

I kinda like the idea of "permanently" mounted handles on my Lee molds. They only use two types of handles; the 2 cavity handles (supplied attached) and the 6 cavity (sold separately). When I purchase a mold from another mfg., I usually buy handles and keep them attached...

I would try to do that but with 60 odd moulds space quickly becomes an issue .
By good fortune I have aquired enough RCBS handles for all 4 of them ,
I'm probably at about 3-1 on the Lymans . I have enough Lee handles for the 6C or to be 3 short for the NOEs ........
