Lee Double Cavity Mold - .358-158-swc No-gc W/handles

The Lee Double Cavity Mold - .358-158-swc No-gc W/handles is a precision reloading tool designed for handloaders who demand repeatable, high-quality ammunition production. This double cavity mold serves shooters loading .38 Special, .357 Magnum, 9mm Luger, and related cartridges who require consistent semi-wad cutter projectiles. Built for serious reloaders and competitive shooters, this mold eliminates variables in bullet casting—a critical step for those who understand that ammunition quality directly impacts accuracy, function, and safety downrange.

This mold casts .358-inch diameter, 158-grain semi-wad cutter bullets with a ballistic coefficient of .117—a proven design for defensive and target applications in medium-caliber pistol rounds. The double cavity configuration accelerates production, allowing experienced casters to produce matched bullet pairs per cycle, reducing per-round casting time without sacrificing dimensional consistency. Integrated handles provide superior control during the casting process, minimizing spills and ensuring safe pouring technique. The no-gas-check design simplifies the casting workflow by eliminating post-cast finishing steps, making it ideal for high-volume reloading operations or those prioritizing efficiency over custom features.

Law enforcement, military personnel, and civilian competitors benefit most from this mold when establishing reliable ammunition supplies for training and duty use. The .358-158-swc profile is particularly suited to .38 Special and .357 Magnum revolvers, where semi-wad cutter geometry provides excellent target visibility and barrier performance. Handloaders should verify alloy temperature (typically 700–800°F) and maintain consistent pouring technique to achieve the dimensional accuracy this mold is engineered to deliver. Compatibility spans traditional double-action revolvers, lever-action rifles in .38/.357, and select semi-automatic platforms chambered for these cartridges.
