The RCBS Bullet Mould Mallet (Model R80007) is a dedicated manual hand tool designed specifically for bullet casting applications. Constructed from durable beech wood, this mallet allows reloaders to safely tap hot bullet moulds and sprue plates to release cast bullets and cut sprues without causing structural damage to the casting equipment. Unlike improvised metal tools, the wood-on-metal contact of this mallet prevents the deformation, denting, or premature wear of delicate aluminum and iron mould blocks.

Key Features

• Damage-Free Operation: The solid beech wood construction provides a soft contact surface that prevents damage, wear, or misalignment of iron and aluminum casting blocks.
• High Thermal Resistance: Engineered to withstand high-heat environments, allowing safe, direct contact with components heated to molten lead-level temperatures without melting or degrading like plastic or rubber alternatives.
• Block Alignment Assistance: Offers the precise, gentle force required to tap tight-fitting mould blocks during break-in periods, ensuring proper alignment pin engagement.
• Universal Design: Compatible with all standard wooden-handled, iron, or aluminum bullet moulds, including RCBS double-cavity block moulds.

Specifications

Who is the Rcbs Bullet Mould Mallet for?

• Bullet casting hobbyists using iron or aluminum moulds — requires a lightweight tool for repetitive benchtop use, which this bullet casting mould mallet delivers with its light shipping weight of approximately 0.532 lbs (240 grams) to prevent user fatigue while safely tapping sprue plates.
• Handgun and rifle reloaders casting lead bullets — need a specialized, non-marring tool to gently release freshly cast lead bullets from hot cavities, facilitated by a soft wood head and a low physical tool weight of approximately 0.532 lbs.

Less suitable for: tasks requiring heavy-duty striking force or heavy material shaping, which require a heavier dead-blow hammer or a steel hammer rather than a lightweight wooden mould mallet.
