Title: Need info on round ball
Post by: ErikPrice1@msn.com on May 20, 2015
 I was digging through my stuff and came up with a 4 cavity Shiloh IV round ball mold in 440.  I've looked everywhere I could and cannot find any info on this or the company that made it. Was made in Hasbrouck Heights NJ. Going to rondy this weekend and was thinking of getting rid if this, was looking to see what handles fit it also. I already have a lee 45 mold. Any help would be appreciated.

If you have a set of Lyman handles try them and see if they will fit. If I remember correctly I have Shiloh handles that I use with Lyman moulds but a 4 cavity may take a larger handle than a 1 or 2 cavity.
I think Lyman makes 2 sizes of handles.

a four cavity mold will likely take a set of large Lyman handles.

I'll check it out, thanks. I was really surprised there wasn't any info on it that I have found so far. But with so many websites, it's hard to filter through to the ones that will actually have what you are looking for.

       found a web sight that stated about a rb mold where there were two on the top and two on the bottom and the Lyman handles were a fit with a little  alteration.
