Picked up a old single cavity lyman 452 SWC mold , went to use it and found my handles wont allow it to close. Closer look at the box and it says use small mold handles.
The mold is "thinner" than all my other molds
Anyone have a pair?
 
So people are aware, lyman and Ideal and some other forgotten bullet mold makers made “small” dies at one point

heres a single cavity mold with a lyman “small” mold on the right. The small mold will not close completely with "regular" mold handles.
