Overview
This two-cavity aluminum mold is built for reloaders working with 9mm Luger, .38 Super, and .380 ACP applications, offering a 125-grain round nose design with a 2 ogive radius. Its CNC-machined mold block halves are intended to support roundness and size control, while the aluminum construction helps reduce fatigue during longer casting sessions. The included hardwood handles and tangential cut-off design round out a practical setup for producing handgun bullets at the bench. As with any casting tool, results depend on alloy choice and proper mold preparation, so initial casts may require some settling in.

- The mold is supplied with hardwood handles, but no spray-type mold release is recommended for use with this design.
