Lee Round Nose Pistol Mould - 6 Cavity (Handles Sold Separately) .452" 230 gr

The Lee Round Nose Pistol Mould in 6-cavity configuration is built for serious volume bullet casters who demand efficiency and consistency. This .452" 230-grain mould delivers the reliable performance Lee's known for, and the six-cavity setup means you can cast multiples in each cycle—critical if you're working through brass by the thousands. It's an excellent choice for handloaders producing ammunition for common large-bore pistol cartridges, whether for range testing loads or stocking up for regular shooting.

Lee engineered these moulds with steel bushings and alignment pins throughout the block, so the cavities stay true after thousands of casts. The CNC-machined cavities deliver the roundness and dimensional consistency that translates directly to uniform bullets. Where this mould really stands apart is the included cam-operated sprue plate: it eliminates the repetitive pounding of traditional moulds, reducing fatigue and wear on both the equipment and your hand. The sprue plate itself is hard-anodized for durability and secured with wave washers at each end to keep everything locked down under repeated use.

The aluminum mould block was chosen for its superior casting qualities—it conducts heat evenly and releases bullets cleanly. This is a bare mould; you'll need to source handles separately, but that flexibility lets you match them to whatever casting system you're running. Whether you're a production caster or a handloader committed to casting your own bullets for consistency and economy, this six-cavity setup is designed to keep pace with your workflow.
