Lee Truncated Cone Pistol Mould (Handles Included) - Double Cavity TL452-230TC .452" 230 gr

The Lee Truncated Cone Pistol Mould is a workhorse tool for handloaders casting .452\" diameter bullets at 230 grains. If you're committed to controlling costs on high-volume pistol shooting—whether that's practice at the range, competition, or hunting—casting your own projectiles from lead lets you load ammunition for a fraction of factory ammo prices. This double-cavity mould speeds the casting process so you can produce bullets more efficiently than single-cavity alternatives.

Lee's aluminum mould blocks are engineered for consistent results. Each cavity is CNC machined to tight tolerances, which means the roundness and dimensional accuracy of your cast bullets should be repeatable run to run. That consistency matters when you're trying to group tighter or load more predictable batches. The included handles and sprue plates get you casting right out of the box—no hunting for separate accessories.

Bullet casting isn't for everyone, but for reloaders who shoot a lot of pistol ammunition, it's a practical way to stretch a budget without sacrificing control over your ammo quality. The double-cavity design is the standard for serious casters because it cuts your casting time in half compared to single-cavity tools, and the Lee reputation for durability means this mould should handle years of regular use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What bullet size does this mould cast?

This mould casts .452\" diameter bullets weighing 230 grains. It's designed for common large-frame pistol calibers that use that bullet diameter.

What comes with the mould?

The mould includes the aluminum block, handles, and sprue plates. You'll need a lead source, a melting pot or furnace, and a casting ladle to get started, but the essential casting tool and accessories are included.

Why choose a double-cavity mould over single cavity?

A double-cavity mould lets you cast two bullets per cycle, which roughly doubles your output compared to a single-cavity tool. If you shoot high volumes, the time savings add up significantly.

How accurate are bullets from a Lee mould?

Lee uses CNC machining to ensure consistent roundness and size control in each cavity. The consistency you get depends on your casting technique—pouring temperature, cooling time, and alloy composition all affect the final bullet—but the mould itself is engineered for tight tolerances.
