Lee Semi-Wadcutter Pistol Mould - Double Cavity (Handles Included) .401" 175 gr

The Lee Semi-Wadcutter Pistol Mould with double cavity and included handles is built for serious handload reloaders who cast their own .401" bullets. This aluminum mould casts 175-grain semi-wadcutter projectiles—a versatile profile that feeds reliably in many pistol actions and delivers the kind of performance you get when you're in control of every step from brass to finished round. Whether you're working up loads for target shooting, hunting, or general practice, casting lets you build ammunition tuned to your specific gun and needs.

Lee aluminum moulds are known for a reason: they heat and cool faster than steel or iron blocks, speeding up your casting cycle and reducing hand fatigue during long sessions at the pot. The steel handles come permanently attached and are sized for a solid grip, so you're not fumbling with loose hardware between casts. Aluminum won't rust, which means less maintenance and more time actually casting bullets instead of scrubbing mould blocks. Yes, aluminum is softer than blued steel, but handled with reasonable care—the kind most reloaders naturally use—these moulds will give you years of reliable service.

The double-cavity design means you're throwing two bullets per cycle, doubling your productivity compared to single-cavity moulds. That matters when you're casting hundreds of rounds. This is a working tool for reloaders who know their equipment and appreciate straightforward, honest engineering over unnecessary frills.

Frequently Asked Questions

What bullet weight and style does this mould cast?

This Lee mould casts 175-grain semi-wadcutter bullets sized .401". The semi-wadcutter profile is a popular choice for handgun reloaders because it offers good feeding characteristics and versatile ballistics across different applications.

Why choose an aluminum mould over steel or iron?

Aluminum moulds heat and cool faster than steel or iron, which means quicker casting cycles and less hand fatigue during extended casting sessions. Aluminum also resists rust, eliminating the need for protective oils and maintenance. The trade-off is that aluminum is softer, but with normal handling these moulds are durable.

Are the handles included and attached?

Yes. The steel handles come permanently attached to the mould block, so there's no assembly required or loose parts to manage. They're sized for a firm, comfortable grip during casting.

How many bullets does this mould produce per pour?

This is a double-cavity mould, so it casts two bullets with each cycle. That doubles your output compared to single-cavity moulds, making longer casting sessions more efficient.
