stealth308winMould handles
I have a question will RCBS handles fit Lyman rifle bullet moulds?

DoublessNone of my Lyman moulds will fit RCBS handles... The only moulds that RCBS handles will fit (other than the RCBS sets, of course...) to the best of my knowledge, are
some of the NEI sets. Walt Melander has built a bunch of different moulds, with different handle setups. I have two-cavity mould blocks from him that use RCBS handles, and I have a four-cavity block that is set up to use Lyman handles. Go figure...

popenmannThe one and only Lyman mold that I ever owned fit my RCBS handles.

Paul HI haven't tried that combo, but I believe the newer lyman models can be made to work with RCBS handles.

Swede44magBe on the safe side buy one of the same manufacture. It is a pain to change handles any-way that is why I try to get handles for each mould.

I have over 100 molds. I don't have room for 100 handles.

The last set of Lyman handles I bought look exactly like RCBS handle though. I wonder if they're trying to standardize?
