$34.49
The Lee Round Ball Mould with handles included is a double-cavity casting tool built for shooters who load round balls for percussion cap rifles, smoothbore muskets, and traditional muzzleloaders. This .319" mould casts projectiles at 48.73 grains each—a versatile weight for a range of blackpowder hunting and range applications. If you're serious about casting your own round balls instead of buying factory ammunition, a quality mould like this one pays for itself quickly, especially when you're shooting often.
Lee Precision moulds are known for solid casting performance without the fuss of fancy marketing. The design features a tangential sprue cut that eliminates the stub nib typical of older mould designs—less cleanup work after each pour, which means faster production when you're casting in volume. The included handles and sprue plate get you casting right out of the box; no separate purchases needed to get started.
This double-cavity design doubles your throughput compared to single-cavity moulds, so you can cast ammunition more efficiently without overcomplicating the process. Whether you're loading for a .32-caliber rifle, preparing ammunition for hunting season, or just keeping your blackpowder shooting affordable, a reliable round ball mould is essential equipment in any reloader's bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
What caliber rifles and muskets does a .319" round ball fit?
A .319" ball is sized for traditional .32-caliber blackpowder rifles and similar bores. Always verify your specific firearm's bore diameter before casting ammunition.
Does this mould come with handles?
Yes. The Lee Round Ball Mould includes handles and a sprue plate, so you have everything needed to begin casting immediately without additional purchases.
What is the tangential sprue cut and why does it matter?
The tangential sprue cut is a design feature that reduces the size of the nib (the stub left where the ball connects to the sprue) after casting. This means less cleanup and filing work after each pour, making the casting process faster and more efficient.
Can I use this mould for hunting or just target shooting?
Round ball ammunition cast from moulds like this one has been used for hunting with blackpowder rifles for centuries. The 48.73 grain weight is suitable for both hunting and range applications in appropriate caliber rifles, though ballistics and performance depend on your specific firearm and load.
