Frequently Asked Questions

What caliber bullets does this mould cast?

This mould casts .452" diameter bullets at 200 grains—a common size for .45 ACP and other .45 caliber pistol rounds.

Why choose aluminum instead of steel for bullet casting?

Aluminum is lighter, reducing hand and arm fatigue during long casting sessions. It also heats and cools faster than steel or iron, which means quicker turnaround between pours and less waiting time overall. The trade-off is that aluminum is softer and requires more careful handling to avoid damage, but treated gently it will cast thousands of bullets reliably.

Are the handles included with this mould?

Yes, steel handles are permanently attached and ready to use right out of the box.

Can I use this mould for both target and hunting loads?

The semi-wadcutter profile is versatile and works well for both target and hunting applications, though the specific load performance depends on the powder, primer, and bullet weight you pair with it during reloading.
