.38 Caliber Bullet Mold - 148 Grain WC RCBS (.358)
.38 caliber bullet mold, designed for casting .358 inch diameter projectiles weighing approximately 148 grains. This precision-engineered mold is ideal for handloaders and ballistic enthusiasts seeking consistent bullet dimensions and optimal weight for enhanced accuracy and terminal performance in metallic and semi-metallic ammunition applications.
The mold features a dual cavity configuration, allowing for efficient production of two identical bullets per casting cycle, significantly increasing throughput for reloaders focused on volume without compromising on uniformity. Please note that the mold does not include sprue cutters (tenazas), which are essential for cleanly severing the bullet from the sprue and ensuring minimal post-casting finishing work.
For best results, it is recommended to use the Top Punch #429, reference R82529, which is specifically designed to complement this molds cavity geometry. The correct punch selection ensures precise bullet seating and consistent bullet base formation, critical factors in achieving superior ballistic performance and reliable chambering in .38 Special and similar cartridges.
This bullet mold is an indispensable tool for precision handloaders and competitive shooters who demand high-quality cast bullets optimized for accuracy, penetration, and reliable feeding in semi-automatic and revolver platforms. Its robust construction and attention to detail make it a valuable addition to any reloading bench focused on metallic and semi-metallic bullet production.
