RCBS Soft Point Rifle Bullet Mould - Double Cavity .225" 55 gr (.22-55-SP 506)

The RCBS Soft Point Rifle Bullet Mould—Double Cavity .225" 55 grain (model 82007) is a precision reloading tool designed for shooters who cast their own rifle ammunition. This double-cavity mould produces consistent 55-grain soft-point projectiles in .225" diameter, making it ideal for cartridges like the .223 Remington and similar small-bore rifle rounds. Cast-iron construction ensures durability across hundreds of casting cycles, while precision machining guarantees dimensional accuracy critical to ballistic performance and reliable feeding.

The mould is machined to exact specifications from solid cast iron that has been precision ground square prior to machining, ensuring clean, burr-free casts even after extended use. The 3/16-inch steel sprue plate is secured with steel screws and spring washers, providing stable positioning during the casting cycle and allowing for straightforward sprue removal. The double-cavity configuration increases casting efficiency, producing two projectiles per pour—a significant productivity advantage for high-volume handloaders. Each cavity is independently formed to maintain consistency across both cavities in a single pour cycle.

This mould serves serious rifle reloaders, competitive shooters, and ammunition enthusiasts who demand precise bullet specifications tailored to their specific loads and firearms. Cast bullets allow for reduced powder charges compared to jacketed alternatives, lowering ammunition cost per round while maintaining accuracy. The 55-grain soft-point profile delivers expansion and penetration characteristics suitable for varmint hunting and training applications where bullet performance is predictable and controllable.

RCBS moulds are industry-standard equipment in the handloading community, recognized for casting consistency and longevity. The .22-55-SP designation confirms compatibility with standard .225-inch rifle bullet sizing dies and .223/5.56 NATO family cartridges. Cast-bullet reloading requires proper alloy selection, hardness testing, and load development—techniques familiar to serious handloaders.
