Lee Semi-Wadcutter Pistol Mould - Double Cavity (Handles Included) .430" 240 gr

The Lee Semi-Wadcutter Pistol Mould - Double Cavity (.430" 240 gr) with included handles is a precision bullet casting tool engineered for handloaders and ammunition reloaders seeking consistent, high-volume projectile production. This double-cavity aluminum mould delivers two bullets per pour cycle, significantly reducing casting time while maintaining dimensional uniformity across batches—a critical requirement for precision shooting and competitive ammunition assembly.

Constructed from aluminum with permanently attached steel handles, this casting block combines lightweight ergonomics with thermal efficiency. Aluminum's lower thermal mass allows faster heat-up and cool-down cycles compared to iron or steel moulds, reducing fatigue during extended casting sessions and minimizing casting defects caused by thermal lag. The .430" diameter specification accommodates larger bore handgun cartridges, while the 240-grain weight specification suits mid-range and magnum pistol calibers. Steel handles provide secure grip leverage and durability under repeated use, eliminating the need for aftermarket handle upgrades. The corrosion-resistant aluminum composition ensures longevity in varied storage and workshop environments without requiring maintenance to prevent rust.

This mould addresses the needs of serious reloaders and ammunition manufacturers who cast bullets for magnum pistol loads, hunting rounds, and match-grade handgun ammunition. The double-cavity design increases throughput for those producing ammunition in volume, while the semi-wadcutter profile offers reliable feeding in firearms with traditional feed ramps and chambers. Handloaders working with proprietary or less common caliber specifications benefit from Lee's extensive mould catalogue, which includes grain weights from 90 to 240 grains across multiple bore diameters, allowing customization of projectile weight and profile to match specific ballistic and functional requirements.
