Lee Precision double cavity aluminum mold casts .358" diameter, 158-grain round nose flat point bullets ideal for .38 Special and .357 Magnum. No lube groove design optimized for powder coating.
The Lee Precision NLG358-158-RF is a purpose-built aluminum mold for handloaders who embrace modern powder coating techniques. This double cavity design casts .358-inch diameter, 158-grain projectiles with a round nose and flat point profile—a classic configuration proven effective in .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges.
No Lube Groove Construction: Unlike traditional molds, this design eliminates lube grooves entirely. The result is a smoother bullet with maximum bearing surface—precisely what polymer powder coatings require for consistent tumble and bake results.
Aluminum Construction: Lee's aluminum blocks heat and cool rapidly compared to iron or steel alternatives. This means faster casting cycles, reduced fatigue during extended sessions, and easier handling throughout your reloading day.
Complete Package: Each mold ships with hardwood handles and a hard anodized sprue plate, giving you everything needed to begin casting immediately.
This mold represents a smart choice for reloaders seeking to maximize the advantages of powder-coated ammunition while maintaining the reliability of proven bullet geometry.
