Cast your own 7.62x39 ammunition with the Lee Precision 7.62X39 Caliber (.312'') 160Gr Round Nose 6 Cavity Mold—a serious tool for reloaders who want control over their rifle rounds from start to finish. Whether you're running an AK platform, SKS, or other 7.62x39 rifle, this aluminum mold lets you produce consistent cast bullets at a fraction of the cost of factory ammunition. The six-cavity design means you'll have a decent volume per pour, making your casting sessions more efficient while maintaining quality.
Lee Precision's aluminum construction keeps things lightweight and manageable at the casting bench, while the hard anodized sprue plate resists rust and wear through countless castings. The .312'' diameter and 160-grain round nose profile give you a versatile bullet suitable for hunting and target work across a range of 7.62x39 loads. This is the kind of mold that rewards careful technique—proper mold prep and maintenance will give you uniform bullets cast after cast.
One critical point worth knowing upfront: Lee Precision specifically advises against spray-type mold release products. Those aerosol releases can accumulate inside the cavities and gradually reduce your bullet diameter, throwing off your finished ammunition. Instead, they recommend traditional methods—smoking the mold with a wooden match, beeswax candle, or butane lighter before each pour. It's old-school, it works, and it keeps your cavity dimensions true.
