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

None 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...

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

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

yes, the Lyman moulds I just purchased work just fine on RCBS handles.


Merkel 140A- .470NE
Beretta Vittoria- 12 Ga.
J.P. Sauer & Sohn Type B- 9.3x64mm
ArmaLite AR-10A4- 7.62x51mm
Franchi Highlander- 12 Ga.
Marlin 1894 CB Limited- .41 Magnum
Remington 722- .244 Rem.
and many, many more.

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