Lyman Mould Handles Large (LY-MHL) provide the essential structural support and thermal protection required for precision bullet casting. Engineered with a rugged cast iron and solid steel frame, these heavy-duty handles are built to withstand the repetitive physical stress of opening and closing heavy mould blocks. To protect the user from the extreme heat of molten lead alloys—which frequently exceed temperatures of 370 degrees Celsius (700 degrees Fahrenheit)—the handles feature thick, solid hardwood grips. These grips act as a natural thermal barrier, ensuring a cool, comfortable, and secure hold during extended casting sessions. This manual mechanical tool requires no external power source, making it a reliable and durable addition to any Australian reloading bench.

Key Features of the Lyman Mould Handles Large:

• Thermal Safety: Solid hardwood grips insulate the user's hands from temperatures exceeding 370°C (700°F), preventing heat transfer during continuous casting.
• Robust Construction: The heavy-duty cast iron and solid steel frame resists warping and wear under high heat and repeated mechanical pressure.
• Secure Alignment: Attaches firmly to mould blocks using standard slotted screws, ensuring uniform grip tension and precise alignment of the mould halves.
• Broad Compatibility: Specifically designed to fit all current-production Lyman double-cavity (two-cavity) bullet moulds, current single-cavity moulds for larger projectiles (including round balls, Minie balls, and Maxi balls), and Lyman shotgun slug moulds.
