Lee Round Nose Rifle Mould - Double Cavity (Handles Included) .309" 180 gr
$33.74
The Lee Round Nose Rifle Mould in .309" 180 gr is a double-cavity casting tool designed for handloaders who cast their own bullets. Built from aluminum, this mould heats and cools rapidly—a significant advantage over iron or steel alternatives that can lead to fatigue during extended casting sessions. The material also resists rust, making it reliable for long-term storage in the reloading shop. This mould comes ready to use with handles included, so you can start casting immediately.
Double-cavity design means you're producing two bullets per pour, speeding up your casting workflow compared to single-cavity moulds. The block halves are crimped together for consistent fit and alignment, which translates directly to uniform bullets that chamber and perform predictably. For the rifle cartridge shooter who wants to reduce ammunition costs and maintain complete control over bullet specifications, casting your own projectiles is a practical and rewarding approach.
Lee Precision has built its reputation on straightforward, functional reloading equipment that works. This mould reflects that philosophy—no unnecessary frills, just solid design focused on producing quality cast bullets. Whether you're working up loads for hunting, target shooting, or experimenting with different weights and hardnesses, having your own casting capability opens up possibilities that factory ammo can't offer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers does this mould fit?
This mould casts .309" diameter bullets and is not caliber-specific in the traditional sense—it produces a projectile suitable for any rifle cartridge that uses .309" bullets at 180 grains. Consult your reloading manual to confirm compatibility with your specific cartridge.
Do I need any additional equipment to use this mould?
The mould comes with handles included, so you have everything needed to begin casting. You will need a furnace or heat source to melt and maintain lead at proper casting temperature, but the mould itself is complete.
Why aluminum instead of iron or steel?
Aluminum heats and cools faster than iron or steel, which speeds up your casting cycle and allows you to produce more bullets in less time. It's also lighter, reducing hand and arm fatigue during long casting sessions. The material resists rust, which helps the mould maintain its condition year after year.
Is this mould suitable for beginners?
Lee Precision moulds are designed to be straightforward and reliable. If you're new to bullet casting, this double-cavity mould is a functional entry point, though you'll want to research proper casting technique and safety practices before starting.
