R.E.A.L. Combo Mold Caliber .50-320RB-.490 for Reloading and Casting
Lee 2-Cavity Mold Combined with a R.E.A.L. Bullet Design
Caliber .50 - 320 Grains with a .490 Diameter Round Ball
This precision-engineered mold produces both a R.E.A.L. (Rifled Energy Advanced Lead) projectile and a traditional round ball, optimized for black powder and metallic cartridge reloaders seeking versatility and performance.
The R.E.A.L. bullets manufactured with this mold feature a unique self-cleaning design, allowing for effortless loading even in fouled barrels, a critical advantage in field conditions where rapid follow-up shots are necessary.
With their tight ballistic profile and superior aerodynamic stability, these projectiles deliver consistent, accurate flight paths, making them ideal for medium to heavy hunting loads in caliber .50 firearms.
Large lubrication grooves are incorporated into the bullet design to retain ample grease, reducing barrel leading and enhancing projectile seal during firing.
Lees 2-cavity molds represent an excellent value proposition for handloaders and ballistic enthusiasts who demand high-quality bullet casting tools at an economical price point.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, these molds offer superior thermal conductivity compared to traditional iron or steel molds, allowing for faster heat absorption and quicker cooling cycles during casting operations.
The lightweight nature of aluminum moldsapproximately one-third the weight of iron or steel counterpartsreduces operator fatigue during extended casting sessions, improving overall efficiency and comfort.
These molds are securely clamped with wooden-handled tongs, ensuring precise cavity alignment and safe handling throughout the molten lead pouring and bullet extraction process.
Note that bullet weights may vary slightly depending on the specific lead alloy composition used, so handloaders should verify weights for load development and accuracy.
An integrated sprue cutter blade facilitates clean trimming of excess lead from the bullet base, streamlining the casting workflow and producing uniform projectiles ready for sizing and lubing.
Included with the mold are high-quality tongs designed for secure grip and ease of use during casting.
For optimal mold longevity and bullet quality, it is highly recommended to thoroughly degrease the mold prior to initial use. Additionally, seasoning the mold with smoke or applying a specialized mold release agent will enhance bullet release and prevent lead buildup.
