Lee Round Nose Pistol Mould - 6 Cavity (Handles Sold Separately) .452" 228 gr

The Lee Round Nose Pistol Mould is a 6-cavity bullet casting mould designed for reloaders who cast their own handgun ammunition in volume. Each cavity produces .452" diameter round-nose bullets weighing 228 grains, ideal for common large-bore pistol calibers. Built from aluminum for superior moulding characteristics, this mould combines precision engineering with robust construction—purpose-built for serious handloaders who want consistent, repeatable results without breaking the bank or the equipment.

Lee equipped this mould with steel bushings and alignment pins throughout, so cavity-to-cavity consistency holds up through hundreds of casting cycles. The included cam-operated sprue plate handles the business of cutting sprues cleanly without the repetitive pounding that wears out lesser designs; hard anodized steel construction and wave washer retention keep it stable and true shot after shot. Every cavity is CNC-machined for unmatched roundness and dimensional control—what you cast today will match what you cast six months from now.

Note that handles are sold separately, so plan accordingly if you're new to mould casting. This is a no-frills, production-grade tool: buy it for its precision and durability, not for shiny marketing. Whether you're loading rounds for a .452" revolver or working up pistol loads in other large-bore calibers, this mould delivers the consistency high-volume casters depend on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers can I cast bullets for with this mould?

This mould produces .452" diameter bullets, which are suitable for large-bore pistol calibers. Check your specific firearm's bore diameter to confirm compatibility before casting.

Do handles come with this mould?

No. Handles are sold separately, so you'll need to source those if you don't already have them.

How much volume can I expect from this mould?

The 6-cavity design is engineered for serious production casting, allowing you to produce six bullets per cycle. With the cam-operated sprue plate and robust construction, this mould is built to handle extended casting sessions without fatigue or degradation.

Is this mould accurate enough for precision reloading?

Yes. Every cavity is CNC-machined for unmatched roundness and dimensional control, which means the bullets it casts will maintain consistent size and weight from one casting session to the next.
