Lee Semi-Wadcutter Pistol Mould - Double Cavity (Handles Included) .401" 145 gr

If you cast your own pistol bullets, the Lee Semi-Wadcutter Pistol Mould in .401" 145 gr is a solid, economical choice for reloaders who want to keep costs down and quality high. This double-cavity mould comes with handles already attached, so you're ready to start casting as soon as it arrives—no extra purchases or assembly needed. Lee's aluminum construction keeps the tool lightweight and reduces hand fatigue during long casting sessions, a real benefit when you're pouring dozens of rounds.

Aluminum moulds have a genuine advantage over heavier steel or iron options: they heat and cool faster, which means more consistent bullet dimensions and better throughput. The semi-wadcutter profile is a versatile bullet shape for target work and defensive loads in calibers that favor it. The permanently attached steel handles give you a solid grip and won't loosen or separate during use. Yes, aluminum is softer than blued steel, so treat it with reasonable care—no dropping or banging—but handled sensibly, this mould will deliver years of reliable service.

Whether you're a high-volume caster or just getting started in bullet casting, Lee Precision moulds are trusted across the reloading community for honest value and consistent performance. This double-cavity design doubles your output per pour compared to single-cavity moulds, making it worthwhile for anyone who shoots regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What bullet weight and caliber does this mould cast?

This Lee mould casts .401" diameter, 145-grain semi-wadcutter bullets. Check your reloading manual to confirm this weight and profile work for your intended cartridge and use.

Are the handles included, or do I need to buy them separately?

The handles are included and permanently attached to the mould, so you're ready to start casting immediately—no additional parts to purchase.

Why choose an aluminum mould instead of steel or iron?

Aluminum is lighter, reducing hand and arm fatigue during extended casting sessions. It also heats and cools faster than steel or iron, which helps produce more uniform bullet dimensions and increases your casting speed. The trade-off is that aluminum is softer, so it requires careful handling to maintain its precision over time.

How many bullets does this mould produce per pour?

The double-cavity design casts two bullets per pour, doubling your output compared to a single-cavity mould and making it efficient for regular shooters and high-volume reloaders.
