Lee Semi-Wadcutter Pistol Mould (Handles Sold Separately) - 6 Cavity .401" 175 gr

The Lee Semi-Wadcutter Pistol Mould (Handles Sold Separately) – 6 Cavity .401" 175 gr is a dedicated casting tool for shooters and reloaders who process ammunition in volume. This aluminum 6-cavity mould produces consistent semi-wadcutter projectiles in .401" diameter at 175 grains, enabling high-volume bullet casting operations where repeatability and throughput matter.

Constructed from aluminum rather than steel, this mould offers distinct advantages for extended casting sessions. Aluminum dissipates heat rapidly, allowing faster cooling cycles between pours—critical when processing hundreds of rounds per session. The material also resists oxidation and corrosion, a practical benefit in humid reloading environments. Block halves are CNC machined to tight tolerances, ensuring uniform cavity dimensions and bullet uniformity batch to batch. The 175-grain semi-wadcutter profile is designed for controlled expansion and consistent ballistics across common pistol cartridges in this bore diameter.

This mould serves precision reloaders, competitive shooters, and recreational ammunition manufacturers who cast their own projectiles. Semi-wadcutter designs are favored in handgun loads for target shooting and practice, where cost per round directly impacts training volume. The 6-cavity configuration accelerates production compared to single-cavity moulds while remaining manageable for bench-top operation. Note that handles are sold separately, allowing customization to individual casting setups and replacement as needed without replacing the entire mould block.

Lee Precision moulds are industry standards in home and small-scale ammunition production, recognized for dimensional accuracy and durability across thousands of casting cycles. The .401" semi-wadcutter format is compatible with common pistol cartridges in that bore diameter, making this mould a practical addition to any serious handloading bench.
