Lyman Rifle Bullet Mould .22 Hornet 44Gr
If you're serious about handloading for your .22 Hornet rifle, you need a Lyman Rifle Bullet Mould chambered for .22 Hornet 44Gr projectiles. Lyman moulds are built to exacting standards and have earned their reputation as the benchmark in the casting industry—shooters and reloaders trust them because they deliver consistent, accurate bullets year after year. This single-cavity mould is engineered to produce 44-grain bullets suited to this classic varmint and small-game cartridge, giving you the precision and control that handcasting demands.
Casting your own bullets puts you in command of every variable in your ammunition. You select the alloy, control the weight and hardness, and dial in performance for your specific rifle and load. A quality mould is the foundation of that process. Lyman's proven designs are the widest selection available in the industry, and this .22 Hornet mould reflects decades of refinement. Whether you're loading for precision target work, varmint hunting, or simply want to stretch your reloading budget, a dedicated bullet mould gives you repeatable results and the satisfaction of knowing exactly what went into every cartridge.
Note that bullet weights are nominal and may vary slightly from mould to mould and cast to cast—this is normal in the casting process. You'll need a double-cavity handle (sold separately) to operate this mould, as all Lyman rifle moulds require double-cavity handles regardless of cavity count.
