The Lee Precision 38 Caliber 148gr Wadcutter Bullet Mold (part no. 90279) casts a flat-faced wadcutter bullet in .38 caliber (.358 in.), a classic target-shooting profile that cuts a clean, easy-to-score hole in paper. Lee machines its mold blocks from aluminum, which heats and cools faster than iron or steel and stays lighter through a long casting session. At 148 grains, this is the traditional target wadcutter weight favored by .38 Special bullseye and target shooters who cast their own bullets rather than buying them.
