Lee 6-Cavity .358-inch 148gr Wadcutter Bullet Mould (.357 Magnum)

For handloaders casting their own .38 Special and .357 Magnum bullets, the Lee 6-Cavity .358-inch 148gr Wadcutter Bullet Mould (.357 Magnum) (brand part no. 90380) from Lee Precision is a 6-cavity aluminum mould worth a look. It drops a .358-inch diameter, 148-grain wadcutter cast bullet with a full-diameter flat nose that cuts a crisp, round hole in paper, the traditional choice for short-range bullseye and wadcutter target loads. It’s a straightforward, affordable way to cut per-round cost for anyone casting their own .38 Special and .357 Magnum bullets at volume.

Key Specifications

• Casts a .358-inch diameter bullet, sized for .38 Special and .357 Magnum.
• Bullet drops at a nominal 148 grains, worth confirming against your load data since cast bullet weight varies slightly with alloy.
• Bullet profile is Wadcutter, offering a full-diameter flat nose that cuts a crisp, round hole in paper, the traditional choice for short-range bullseye and wadcutter target loads.
• The mould is a 6-cavity block, so a single pour drops six bullets instead of one or two.
• The block halves are machined from aluminum instead of iron, shedding heat quickly between pours and resisting the rust that plagues steel moulds.
• CNC machining on the block halves keeps every cavity true to spec, which shows up as consistent bullet weight and diameter.
• A cam-operated, hard-anodized sprue plate cuts the sprue off cleanly rather than tearing or dragging lead across the bullet base.
• This block ships without handles; a set of standard bullet-mould handles is required and sold separately.
• Sized for .357 Magnum loads, matching the block’s .358-inch bullet diameter.
• Cast bullet measures .577 inches overall, a fixed dimension of the mould’s own cavity geometry (not packaging).
