    Handles

    probably not the right section,
    but does any one have a set of LEE 2 cavity mould handles lying around,
    that they do not need,
    45 RB/REAL mould came with my target pistol,
    with out handles, STRANGE,
    6 CAV ones do not fit,
    thanks,
    T

    The handles on Lee moulds are not very good. With a lot of use the wood shrinks and they keep falling off, or get burnt and split, which is probably why your mould does not have any handles.
    I drill the moulds with a 1/16" drill and rivet them on to stop them coming off all the time.

    You might have to make a set of handles yourself. File handles will do the job. You might have to trim a bit of wood off so the mould closes.

    Handles

    I was not clear in the first place,
    I need the whole lot, metal bits and wooden handles,
    all I have is the ALI mould and spur plate,
    yes I can do the wood bits but I do not have a work shop for the steel bits,
    thanks,
    T

    A friend of mine buys moulds from Arms fairs and if they do not have handles he welds a piece of flat bar to a pair of cheap pliers and drills it to suit the mould.

    I hope it helps.
