6 Cavity Mold 358-150-IR for Bullet Casting (Tongs Not Included)

90326

LEE 6-Cavity Bullet Mold specifically engineered for precision casting of calibers such as .38 Special, .357 Magnum, and .38 Colt New Police. This mold is designed to produce high-quality semi-wadcutter projectiles with a diameter of .358 inches and a weight of approximately 150 grains, optimized for consistent ballistic performance.

The bullet design features a semi-wadcutter profile with a ballistic coefficient of .131, providing excellent stability and accuracy for both target shooting and hunting applications. This mold is ideal for reloaders and ballistic enthusiasts seeking reliable and repeatable bullet production for these popular handgun calibers.

Constructed from high-grade aluminum alloy with steel bushings, the mold block offers superior corrosion resistance and durability under rigorous casting conditions. The integrated alignment pins ensure perfect cavity alignment during the casting process, minimizing flash and improving overall bullet uniformity.

Aluminum molds like this one heat up and cool down significantly faster than traditional iron molds, allowing for quicker attainment of optimal casting temperatures and increased throughput during long casting sessions. Additionally, the lightweight design—approximately one-third lighter than iron molds—reduces operator fatigue, enhancing comfort and efficiency during extended bullet production runs.

The two aluminum halves are securely clamped using specialized bullet mold handles (not included, sold separately under reference 90005), preventing any movement or misalignment while pouring molten lead or lead alloy into the cavities. This stability is crucial for maintaining consistent bullet dimensions and surface finish.

Equipped with an anodized, extra-hard sprue plate featuring an integrated pour cup and cutter, this mold ensures a clean, precise cut of each cast bullet. This feature eliminates excess sprue material and reduces post-casting cleanup time, resulting in a smooth, ready-to-load projectile.

Note that bullet weights may vary slightly depending on the specific lead or lead alloy composition used during casting. For optimal mold performance and longevity, it is highly recommended to thoroughly degrease the mold before initial use and to season it by applying a suitable mold release agent or smoke treatment. Never lubricate the interior cavities, as this can negatively affect bullet surface quality and mold life.

Lightly lubricate the sprue plate retaining screw to ensure smooth operation and prevent seizing. Proper maintenance and handling of the mold will maximize casting efficiency and bullet quality for all your metallic and semi-metallic reloading needs.
