Lee Conical Cap and Ball Mould (Handles Included) - Double Cavity .375" 130 gr
$33.74
The Lee Conical Cap and Ball Mould with handles included is a double-cavity casting tool purpose-built for shooters who cast their own round balls for cap-and-ball firearms. This .375-inch mould casts 130-grain projectiles and comes ready to use—no additional handle purchase necessary. Whether you're loading for a blackpowder revolver, musket, or traditional rifle, having a dedicated mould sized to your exact bore diameter ensures consistent, accurate ammunition tailored to your specific firearm.
Lee has engineered this mould with materials chosen for durability and field reliability. The body is aluminum, which resists rust and keeps weight down for extended casting sessions, while the sprue cutter is steel for clean, reliable cutting on every pour. The hardwood handles are designed to withstand repeated use and provide a comfortable grip during the casting process. The double-cavity design lets you produce two balls per cycle, speeding up your casting workflow when you're preparing ammunition for range trips or hunts.
This mould arrives with an instruction sheet to get you oriented quickly. If you're new to casting or returning to the craft after time away, having clear guidance on proper technique—temperature, alloy choice, and safety—makes the learning curve manageable. Lee's track record in reloading equipment means this mould will hold its dimensions across hundreds or thousands of casts, so your finished balls remain consistent in weight and diameter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms can I use these .375-inch balls in?
These balls are sized for cap-and-ball firearms that chamber .375-inch projectiles. Verify your specific revolver, rifle, or musket's bore diameter before casting to ensure proper fit and accuracy. Many traditional blackpowder revolvers and rifles use this diameter, but always check your owner's manual or manufacturer specs.
Do the handles come with the mould?
Yes. The Lee Conical Cap and Ball Mould arrives complete with hardwood handles already attached, so you're ready to begin casting immediately without any additional purchases.
How many balls can I cast in one session?
The double-cavity design lets you pour two balls per cycle. Total output depends on your casting setup, alloy temperature, and cooling time between pours. Many casters find they can complete dozens of balls in an hour once they establish a rhythm.
What materials should I use to cast balls in this mould?
The instruction sheet included with the mould covers the alloy types and pouring temperatures recommended for consistent results. Follow Lee's guidance on lead purity, tin content, and heat management to achieve uniform ball weight and diameter across your batches.
