Mold Handles

Post by az2vet »

I just acquired a couple of 6 cavity lee molds but without handles. I have a Lee 1 oz. drivekey slug mold I have used to melt shot into slugs and put back in the shell.
My 2 questions are, 1) will the handles from the slug mold fit and work on the 6 cavity mold or am I destined to buy handles? 2) Can I get away with getting one set of handles and just swap them from one mold to the other as needed until I get tired of swapping them?

The six-cavity molds use the Lee Commerical Mold Handles (#90005), and they can be swapped back and forth between six-cavity molds. The single and double cavity molds stay with the mold blocks they came with.
