Lee Round Ball Mould (Handles Included) - Double Cavity .445" 132.28 gr
$34.49
The Lee Round Ball Mould with handles is a double-cavity casting tool designed for shooters and reloaders who want to cast consistent, accurate round balls for muzzleloading rifles, pistols, and historical firearms. This .445" mould throws balls at 132.28 grains, giving you repeatable projectiles without relying on factory ammunition—a real advantage if you're serious about traditional shooting or want to reduce your casting costs on high-volume shooting days.
Built from aluminum rather than steel or iron, this mould heats and cools faster, which means shorter cycles between shots and less waiting around at the casting bench. The lighter weight also makes it easier to handle during extended casting sessions. The CNC-machined cavity halves are engineered to minimize stress concentrations and resist the fatigue that can develop from repeated heating cycles, so you'll get consistent bullet diameter and weight year after year.
Lee Precision includes the handles with this mould—no need to hunt down an aftermarket option or improvise. The handles give you safe, confident control when pouring molten lead and pulling the cavity blocks apart. Whether you're casting for a .445 Sharps rifle, a custom blackpowder build, or experimenting with large-bore percussion guns, this double-cavity design lets you push out two balls per cycle, keeping pace with serious reloaders who don't settle for slowpoke, single-cavity tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms use .445" round balls?
Round balls of this diameter are suitable for large-bore blackpowder rifles and pistols, including .445 Sharps and other custom percussion builds. Always verify your firearm's bore size and consult load data before casting.
Do the handles come with the mould?
Yes. This Lee mould ships with handles included, so you have everything needed to start casting out of the box.
Why aluminum instead of steel?
Aluminum heats and cools more quickly than steel or iron, speeding up your casting cycles. It's also lighter to hold and handle during extended sessions, and it won't rust when stored properly.
How many balls does each casting cycle produce?
The double-cavity design casts two round balls per pour, allowing you to maintain steady output without waiting for single-cavity cycles.
