Lee Round Nose Rifle Mould - Double Cavity (Handles Included) .309" 230 gr
$33.74
The Lee Round Nose Rifle Mould with double cavity and handles included is a serious tool for handloaders who cast their own .309" bullets. If you're producing rounds in volume, a double cavity bullet mould cuts your casting time roughly in half compared to single-cavity alternatives — you're pushing out two 230-grain projectiles per pour. Lee's aluminum construction in this rifle mould delivers real advantages at the casting bench: it heats and cools faster than iron or steel blocks, meaning shorter cycle times and less fatigue during extended casting sessions. The handles come attached and ready to use, so you can get started without hunting down additional parts.
Built for shooters who reload for cartridges using .309" diameter bullets, this mould is built to produce consistent, quality cast rounds. The block halves are crimped together, which Lee has engineered to hold tight tolerances and support repeatable bullet production. Aluminum's lighter weight and rust resistance make it a practical choice for a reloading tool that will see regular use in the shop, whether you're loading for hunting, target practice, or high-volume range sessions.
Cast-bullet reloading gives you control over your ammunition and can reduce per-round costs significantly over time. A double-cavity mould like this one is the workhorse choice once you've decided to get serious about it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cartridges use .309" diameter bullets?
The .309" diameter is suitable for casting bullets for cartridges that specify that bore diameter. Consult your reloading manual to confirm the correct bullet diameter and weight for your specific cartridge before casting.
Why choose a double cavity mould over a single cavity?
A double cavity mould produces two bullets per pour, roughly doubling your throughput when you're casting in volume. If you reload frequently or in quantity, the time savings add up quickly and reduce the physical repetition required.
Do I need to buy handles separately?
No. This mould comes with handles already included, so you're ready to start casting immediately.
Is aluminum really better than steel or iron for a bullet mould?
Aluminum heats and cools faster than heavier metals, which means shorter casting cycles and less fatigue during extended sessions. It also resists rust without requiring the same maintenance as steel or iron. The tradeoff is durability over an extremely long lifespan, but for most reloaders, aluminum moulds perform reliably for years.
