Lee Round Ball Mould (Handles Included) - Double Cavity .575" 285.38 gr
$34.49
The Lee Round Ball Mould with handles is built for shooters who cast their own projectiles for muzzleloaders, antique firearms, or specialty loads. This double cavity mould produces .575" round balls weighing 285.38 grains—a proven size for percussion rifles and smoothbore muskets. If you're serious about hand-casting and want a mould that won't break the bank, Lee's aluminum construction delivers solid performance without the weight penalty of steel or iron alternatives.
Aluminum is the smart material choice here: it resists rust, heats and cools faster than heavier metals, and lets you cycle through casting runs with less waiting around. The CNC-machined block halves are precision-cut to minimize stress points and fatigue, which means your mould will keep producing clean, consistent round balls cast after cast. That dual-cavity design means you're casting two projectiles per pour—efficiency matters when you're processing enough lead for a serious hunting or range season.
Unlike many competitors, this mould ships with handles included. That's a real advantage: you're not buying handles separately, and you've got a proper grip for safely handling hot metal. If you're new to bullet casting or looking for a no-fuss addition to an established reloading bench, this Lee mould offers straightforward, reliable performance at a fair price point.
