The Lee Round Nose Pistol Mould in .452-diameter, 228 grains (brand part no. 90351) is a double-cavity, handle-equipped mould, a near-twin to Lee’s classic 230-grain .45-caliber offering with a slightly lighter cast weight. It’s sized for .45-caliber pistol cartridges. Cast from aluminum block halves, it heats and cools far faster than an iron or steel mould, resists rust in a range bag, and stays noticeably lighter through a long session at the pot. The block halves are specially crimped, so every bullet drops from the mould round and correctly sized after just a few casts.
