Lee Round Flat Nose Pistol Mould - 6 Cavity (Handles Sold Separately) .452" 200 gr

If you're casting your own pistol bullets for handloading, the Lee Round Flat Nose Pistol Mould is a serious workhorse designed for consistent, high-volume production. This 6-cavity mould throws .452" diameter, 200-grain round nose bullets—a proven weight and profile for .45 ACP and other .45-caliber pistol loads. Built with aluminum blocks that heat quickly and resist corrosion, paired with sturdy steel handles, it's engineered to deliver reliable, uniform castings session after session.

The mould's aluminum construction isn't just about durability; it's about thermal efficiency. Aluminum heats fast and maintains consistent temperature, which translates to more uniform bullets with fewer defects. The blocks are CNC-machined for precision, ensuring cavity alignment and bullet uniformity. The hard-anodized sprue plate operates via cam mechanism—a smart design that keeps the plate firmly seated and makes the casting cycle smooth and predictable.

Note that handles are sold separately, so you can pair this mould with Lee handles that fit your setup and budget. If you're already into casting or looking to step up your volume game, this 6-cavity configuration cuts casting time compared to smaller moulds while staying affordable. It's the kind of tool that rewards attention and consistency—keep your alloy temperature stable, maintain good technique, and you'll pull quality bullets all day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are handles included with this mould?

No, handles are sold separately. This gives you flexibility to choose Lee handles that suit your casting setup and budget.

What calibers can I load with .452" 200-grain round nose bullets?

These bullets are sized for .45-caliber pistol cartridges, most commonly .45 ACP. Always verify bullet diameter and weight are appropriate for your specific load data and firearm.

Why is aluminum used for the mould blocks?

Aluminum heats quickly and distributes heat evenly, helping you achieve consistent bullet castings. It also resists rust and corrosion, extending the life of the mould with proper care.

Is this mould suitable for a beginner bullet caster?

Yes. The 6-cavity design is a good step up from single-cavity moulds if you want to boost production, and the Lee design is straightforward to operate. You'll want basic casting equipment, proper safety gear, and good technique to get the most from it.
