This Lee Round Nose Pistol Mould casts a .452-diameter, 230-grain handgun bullet from two cavities at once (brand part no. 90346), with handles included so it’s ready to use out of the box. It’s sized for .45-caliber pistol cartridges, matching the classic full-weight 230-grain loading most .45 ACP shooters know well. Because the block halves are aluminum rather than iron or steel, the mould heats and cools quickly between pours, won’t rust in storage, and stays light through hours of casting. Crimped block halves help produce perfectly round, correctly sized bullets after just a few casts.
