I've been using Saeco handles on my Brooks molds from .32 to .45.   I had no idea that the RCBS ones would work too.

The official recommendation is Saeco. Though I'm not the biggest fan, I'm pretty sure the big ones from the 'L' folks will work in a pinch.

Chris, I might have been wrong.  I'll dig them out when I have time which might be a few days.  Memories start clouding up .........  Undecided

He told me he made them to work with RCBS handles.  And the one I bought from him does.

Sorry for your troubles.

IF you are a NRA member check what their insurence covers.

I had guns stolen  years ago and they covered much over what homeowners didn't.


Well worth the dues.

I attached a photograph in an email question to Steve once. Didn’t realize one of his molds was in the background. He answered the question I sent but also threw in “you Don’t have the right handles on my mold”.  I thought that was humorous.   

Can’t recall now if it was RCBS or Saeco.    There is a fellah in Canada who makes a quality set for both brands.    I’m gonna try his but so far I’ve thought Saeco pretty good handles!
  
Best Regards,
John

I use Saeco on mine and doubt I could find a better fitting.

Saeco is what Brooks recommended for the moulds that I bought from him.  I noticed on his website that he said his moulds used Saeco handles.

Our moulds are made of cast iron, which we machine & heat stress relieve twice before the bullet cavity is cut.  Our precision machined cast iron blocks fit Saeco handles.
