Lee 6-Cavity .358-inch 148gr Wadcutter Bullet Mould (.38-caliber)

Lee Precision’s Lee 6-Cavity .358-inch 148gr Wadcutter Bullet Mould (.38-caliber) (brand part no. 90294) is a 6-cavity aluminum mould designed to drop a .358-inch, 148-grain Wadcutter bullet for .38 Special, .38 S&W, .38 Colt New Police, and .357 Magnum handloads. 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, .38 S&W, .38 Colt New Police, and .357 Magnum bullets at volume.

Key Specifications

• Casts a .358-inch diameter bullet, sized for .38 Special, .38 S&W, .38 Colt New Police, 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.
• Because the blocks are aluminum rather than steel, the mould heats up and cools down quickly between pours and won’t develop rust in storage.
• The cavities are CNC-cut for tight, repeatable dimensions across all six pours.
• The sprue plate is hard-anodized and cam-actuated, cutting the sprue cleanly while standing up to repeated use.
• Mould handles are not included and need to be purchased separately to run this block.
• Sized for .38-caliber loads, matching the block’s .358-inch bullet diameter.
• Uses Lee’s tumble-lube band design, so cast bullets are lubed by tumbling in liquid Alox rather than run through a lubrisizer.
