Lee 0 Buckshot 18 Mold - Ball Diameter .320 (Handles shown NOT included)

The Lee 0 Buckshot 18 Mold with .320" ball diameter is a precision-machined casting mold designed for reloaders and ammunition manufacturers who produce linked buckshot pellets. This mold produces 18 linked pellets per cast at a .320" diameter, yielding projectiles of approximately 49 grains each—ideal for applications requiring consistent, uniform shot patterns and predictable ballistic performance across multiple rounds.

Lee Precision engineering ensures dimensional accuracy critical for shotgun ammunition consistency. The .320" specification represents a standard buckshot size suitable for both field and tactical applications where uniform pellet diameter directly correlates to shot group tightness and energy distribution downrange. The 49-grain mass per pellet provides adequate sectional density for penetration while maintaining manageable recoil characteristics in standard shotgun platforms. Precision casting reduces bore fouling and improves chamber fit, which extends barrel life and reduces maintenance intervals.

This mold serves serious handloaders, ammunition manufacturers, and tactical specialists who prioritize ammunition quality control and performance consistency. Law enforcement, military personnel, and hunters working with shotgun platforms benefit from the ability to produce match-grade linked buckshot loads tailored to specific barrel characteristics and duty requirements. The 18-pellet per cast configuration allows efficient production runs while maintaining the precision necessary for professional-grade ammunition assembly.

Lee Precision molds represent the standard in the reloading industry for repeatability and longevity. The .320" buckshot category sits between traditional #00 and #000 sizes, offering a versatile middle ground for both buckshot and non-traditional shotgun applications.
