LEE Cast Bullet Mold featuring 2 cavities designed for .495 caliber spherical projectiles, ideal for precision casting in black powder firearms and metallic cartridge reloading applications.
Specifically engineered for use with muzzleloading rifles or for handloading hunting cartridges, this mold facilitates the production of high-quality lead or lead-alloy bullets with consistent weight and dimensions, essential for accurate ballistic performance.
Constructed to support high-volume bullet casting, the molds robust design ensures durability and repeatability during extended casting sessions, making it a reliable tool for both novice and professional reloaders.
The mold block is crafted from high-grade aluminum alloy, incorporating hardened steel bushings and precision alignment pins to guarantee perfect cavity alignment and resistance to corrosion, thereby extending the service life of the mold.
Aluminums superior thermal conductivity compared to traditional iron molds allows for faster heating and cooling cycles, significantly reducing the time required to reach optimal casting temperatures and improving overall efficiency in bullet production.
Additionally, the aluminum construction reduces the molds weight by approximately two-thirds relative to iron counterparts, minimizing operator fatigue during prolonged casting operations and enhancing handling ergonomics.
The dual aluminum blocks are securely clamped with included tongs, preventing any lateral movement or misalignment when pouring molten lead or lead alloys into the cavities, ensuring uniform bullet formation and dimensional accuracy.
Equipped with an anodized, extra-hard sprue plate and cutter, the mold provides clean, precise trimming of sprues, resulting in perfectly finished projectiles ready for sizing and lubing, which is critical for consistent chambering and ballistic performance.
Note that bullet weights may vary slightly depending on the specific alloy composition used during casting, so it is recommended to verify projectile mass for load development and ballistic consistency.
The package includes specialized tongs designed for safe and efficient opening and closing of the mold during casting cycles, enhancing user safety and operational control.
Prior to initial use, it is highly advisable to thoroughly degrease the mold cavities to remove any manufacturing residues. Additionally, seasoning the mold by applying a recommended mold release agent or lightly smoking the cavities will improve bullet release and prolong mold life.
Under no circumstances should the interior of the mold be lubricated with oils or greases, as this can adversely affect bullet surface quality and pose safety risks during casting.
Light lubrication of the sprue plate retention screw is recommended to maintain smooth operation and prevent seizing, ensuring consistent sprue trimming performance throughout the molds lifespan.
