Lee Round Nose Pistol Mould - Double Cavity (Handles Included) .358" 158 gr

If you're casting your own pistol bullets, the Lee Round Nose Pistol Mould in .358" 158 grain with double cavity is built to handle serious production work. This aluminum mold block heats and cools quickly, reducing fatigue during long casting sessions compared to iron or steel alternatives—a real advantage when you're pushing volume. The included handles make it convenient to manage, and the construction is designed for durability so it'll serve your reloading bench for years.

What sets this mold apart is its specially crimped block halves, which help ensure consistent, properly sized rounds cast after cast. For handloaders who demand repeatability and want to control their ammunition from powder to finished cartridge, casting your own bullets opens up flexibility in load development and component costs. This double-cavity design speeds up production compared to single-cavity molds, so you're not spending all evening at the casting pot.

Lee Precision has earned trust among serious reloaders for building equipment that works without breaking the bank. Aluminum construction keeps things light without sacrificing the thermal properties you need for reliable casting. Whether you're loading for a dedicated competition gun, a hunting revolver, or just want to dial in your ballistics precisely, casting lets you experiment with weights and designs you can't buy off the shelf.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pistol calibers can I cast bullets for with this mold?

This mold is sized for .358" diameter bullets at 158 grains and is commonly used for pistol cartridges in that bore diameter, such as .38 Special, .357 Magnum, and similar rounds. Check your specific load data to confirm compatibility with your cartridge.

Why is aluminum better than iron for a bullet mold?

Aluminum heats up and cools down faster than iron or steel, which improves casting speed and reduces the physical strain on the caster during long sessions. It's also significantly lighter to handle, which matters when you're casting hundreds of bullets at a time.

What does double cavity mean?

Double cavity means the mold block has two separate bullet cavities, so you can cast two bullets simultaneously with each pour. This doubles your output compared to a single-cavity mold and saves time during production casting.

Are handles included?

Yes, the handles are included with this mold, so you have everything needed to safely grip and operate the mold block when casting.
