LEE Casting Mold featuring 6 precision-machined cavities designed specifically for .45 ACP, .45 Auto Rim, and .45 Colt (Long Colt) calibers, ideal for high-volume bullet casting in metallic and semi-metallic reloading applications.
Bullet Diameter: .452 inches (11.48 mm) with a nominal weight of 228 grains, utilizing a 1R (Round Nose) profile optimized for consistent ballistic performance and reliable feeding in revolvers and semi-automatic pistols.
Compatible with popular handgun cartridges including .45 ACP, .45 Auto Rim, and .45 Colt (Long Colt), this mold is engineered to produce uniform projectiles tailored for precision shooting and effective terminal ballistics.
Ballistic Coefficient (BC): 0.145, providing a balanced trajectory and energy retention suitable for both target shooting and hunting applications.
Constructed for high-efficiency bullet production, this mold is ideal for reloaders seeking rapid casting cycles without sacrificing accuracy or consistency in bullet dimensions.
Manufactured from premium-grade aluminum alloy with integrated steel bushings, the mold incorporates precision alignment pins to ensure perfect cavity registration and minimize flash. The corrosion-resistant materials extend mold life and maintain dimensional integrity under rigorous use.
Aluminum construction offers superior thermal conductivity compared to traditional iron molds, allowing faster heat-up and cooldown cycles. This results in quicker attainment of optimal casting temperatures, enhancing throughput and reducing downtime during extended casting sessions.
Additionally, the lightweight aluminum design reduces operator fatigue during prolonged use by approximately one-third compared to heavier iron molds, improving handling ergonomics and overall casting efficiency.
The dual aluminum blocks are securely clamped using specialized mold handles (not included), preventing any lateral or vertical movement during the pouring of molten lead or lead alloys, thereby ensuring precise bullet formation and minimizing defects.
Equipped with an anodized, extra-hard sprue plate featuring an integrated pour basin and cutter, this mold facilitates clean, complete trimming of cast bullets, eliminating excess material and ensuring uniform bullet weight and shape for optimal ballistic consistency.
Note that bullet weights may vary slightly depending on the specific lead or lead alloy composition used during casting, as alloy density and shrinkage rates influence final projectile mass.
Mold handles for opening and closing the casting blocks are sold separately under reference number 90005 and are recommended for safe and efficient mold operation.
Prior to initial use, thoroughly degrease the mold to remove any manufacturing residues. It is also advisable to season the mold by smoking or applying a manufacturer-recommended mold release agent to enhance bullet release and prolong mold life.
Never lubricate the interior cavity surfaces of the mold, as this can degrade bullet surface quality and introduce inconsistencies.
Apply light lubrication to the sprue plate retention screw to ensure smooth operation and prevent seizing during repeated casting cycles.
