The RCBS Round Nose Pistol Bullet Mould (brand part no. 82048) is a double-cavity mould that casts a classic round-nose pistol profile that feeds smoothly through most semi-auto actions and revolvers alike, true to .452 in diameter at 230 gr. Like every RCBS mould, the blocks are machined from solid cast iron to exact specifications, so bullet casters get clean, consistent castings session after session rather than fighting flashing or short-fills. It’s built for handloaders who cast their own lead bullets rather than buying jacketed or plated projectiles, and it drops straight into any standard mould handle setup.

Key Specifications

• Solid Cast Iron blocks are machined to exact specifications for clean, repeatable castings
