What handles and top punch do I need to use with the RCBS Bullet Mould 35-200-FN?

This 2-cavity mould requires RCBS Hardwood Mould Handles (or compatible aftermarket handles like MidwayUSA #566-980) and the RCBS Top Punch #565, which are sold separately. You will need these accessories to securely operate the cast iron blocks and properly seat or lube the finished projectiles in your reloading press.

Are there any Australian electrical compliance requirements or special certifications for this mould?

No. The RCBS Bullet Mould 35-200-FN is a completely mechanical, non-powered steel and cast-iron tool, meaning standard Australian electrical compliance factors such as 240V power compatibility, SAA/RCM safety certifications, and AU plug configurations do not apply. However, if you are using an electric lead-melting furnace in the Australian outback to supply your casting setup, that separate melting equipment will independently require local 240V compliance.

What velocity thresholds can I expect when shooting bullets cast from this gas check mould?

Because this 200-grain flat-nose design features a gas check base, it is built to handle higher pressures and velocities than plain-base cast bullets. When properly sized to .358 inches and lubricated, reloaders report excellent accuracy and stable flight at velocities ranging from 1,975 fps to 2,050 fps, making it ideal for medium-to-large game hunting in calibres like the .35 Remington and .35 Whelen.

How does the alloy choice affect the final weight of the cast projectiles?

The nominal weight for this .35-calibre mould is 200 grains when using standard Lyman or RCBS lead alloy mixtures. However, if you change your alloy composition—such as switching to wheel weights (COWW)—the actual cast bullet weight can scale up to approximately 213 grains, which is an important variable to factor into your ballistic calculations.

.35 Caliber Bullet Mould - RCBS R82028

The RCBS Bullet Mould 35-200-FN (Model: R82028) is a premium, double-cavity casting tool engineered to produce highly repeatable and dimensionally stable lead projectiles for .35-calibre rifles. Machined from a pearlitic, malleable solid cast iron block that is precision ground square and heat-blued, this mould ensures long-term durability and resistance to wear. The design features hardened steel alignment pins to guarantee a perfect flush fit between the block halves, ensuring consistent alignment during casting.

Key Features

Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with a pearlitic solid cast iron block and a 3/16-inch thick solid steel sprue plate held by tempered steel spring washers and screws for clean, flat shear cuts.
High-Velocity Design: Features a Gas Check (GC) base design that allows cast bullets to handle higher pressures and achieve stable velocities between 1,975 fps and 2,050 fps when properly sized and lubriced.
Flat Nose Profile: The Flat Nose (FN) design delivers a hard-hitting profile optimized for medium-to-large game hunting.
System Compatibility: Requires RCBS Hardwood Mould Handles and an RCBS Top Punch #565 for bullet lubrication and sizing (both sold separately).

Who is the Rcbs Bullet Mould 35-200-Fn for?

Handloaders casting medium-to-large game hunting ammunition — casts a hard-hitting, .358-inch nominal diameter projectile weighing 200 grains that delivers reliable accuracy and terminal performance in .35 Remington, .358 Winchester, .35 Whelen, and .357 Maximum rifles.
Reloaders seeking higher-velocity cast bullets — produces a 0.89-inch long bullet with a dedicated gas check base, allowing casting enthusiasts to push their handloads to velocities between 1,975 fps and 2,050 fps without experiencing the severe barrel leading common with plain-base lead casting blocks.

Less suitable for: Handloaders looking for higher-volume bullet production beyond the 2-cavity capacity limit of this block, who would be better served by multi-cavity aluminum or brass casting moulds containing four or more cavities.
