RCBS bought out the Ohaus line of bullet molds and products and continued making them under the RCBS label.

The last time I checked (it's been several years), the OHAUS/RCBS handles don't fit the Lyman mold blocks. The rectangular slot is a different size and shape, and the screw holes are located differently.

Lee 6 - cavity handles work and are noticeably cheaper.

My RCBS handles fit just fine on my lyman mould. The handles came off of a two cavity RCBS pistol mould (44 cal) somewhere in the 15 yr + range and fit just fine on a new production Lyman single cavity 458 caliber mould. No fitting whatsoever. I just put the screws in and went to castin'. Good luck, your mileage may vary.

PS I posted this question before for the same reason and got positive responses.
