The Lee Truncated Cone Pistol Mould (Handles Included) - Double Cavity 452-230TC .452" 230 gr is a precision bullet-casting tool engineered for serious handloaders and ammunition reloaders who demand consistent results. This double-cavity mould produces properly-formed truncated cone pistol bullets at .452" diameter, 230 grains—a classic weight favored for .45 ACP and similar cartridges. The included handles make casting safer and more ergonomic during extended casting sessions.
The aluminum construction delivers rapid heat cycling—critical for efficient bullet production. Aluminum moulds heat quickly to casting temperature and cool fast after each pour, reducing fatigue on the operator while maintaining dimensional consistency. The crimped block halves ensure the roundest bullet geometry and superior size control, essential for reliable feeding and chambering across different firearms. The tangential cutoff design minimizes sprue material waste and produces clean bullet bases. This mould's double-cavity configuration doubles production throughput compared to single-cavity alternatives, making it ideal for high-volume reloading operations.
Handloaders casting bullets for .45 ACP, .45 Colt, or other .452" bore cartridges will appreciate the precision this mould delivers. Whether you're loading for defensive duty weapons, competition shooting, or general practice ammunition, consistency between rounds reduces velocity spread and improves accuracy. The 230-grain truncated cone profile represents a time-proven loading standard—balancing powder capacity with reliable performance.
Lee Precision moulds are industry standards in the reloading community, chosen for repeatability and value. This mould integrates into any standard casting setup and pairs with Lee's range of casting accessories and sizing/lubing equipment. Reloaders serious about ammunition control select casting-grade moulds like this to eliminate variables in commercial bullet supply chains.
