Mold 358-166-SWC for Reloading and Casting Bullets

90324D

The Lee 2-Cavity Bullet Molds represent an excellent choice for precision handloaders and ballistic enthusiasts seeking a high-quality mold at a competitive price point. Engineered for consistent bullet casting, these molds are ideal for both metallic and semi-metallic projectile production, ensuring optimal performance in reloading applications.

Constructed from durable aluminum blocks, Lee molds offer superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional iron or steel molds. This material choice not only extends the service life of the mold but also enhances thermal conductivity, allowing for faster heating and cooling cycles during the casting process.

Aluminum molds exhibit significantly quicker thermal response times than their iron counterparts, enabling more efficient temperature regulation. This characteristic reduces cycle times and improves bullet consistency by maintaining stable mold temperatures throughout extended casting sessions.

Additionally, the aluminum blocks weigh approximately one-third less than iron or steel molds, reducing operator fatigue during prolonged casting operations. This ergonomic advantage facilitates greater control and precision when handling molten lead or lead alloys.

The mold halves are securely clamped together using robust wooden-handled sprue tongs, ensuring zero lateral movement during the casting phase. This tight seal is critical for producing defect-free projectiles with uniform dimensions and smooth surfaces.

It is important to note that bullet weights may vary depending on the specific lead alloy composition utilized, including variations in lead-tin or lead-antimony blends commonly employed in semi-metallic bullet casting.

Included with the mold are high-quality sprue tongs featuring wooden grips designed for comfortable handling and precise mold manipulation. The integrated sprue cutter efficiently severs excess molten lead from the sprue well, facilitating clean release of the finished bullets.

Prior to initial use, it is highly recommended to thoroughly degrease the mold interior to eliminate any machining oils or contaminants. Subsequent seasoning of the mold surface through smoking or application of manufacturer-recommended mold treatments will enhance bullet release and prolong mold lifespan.

Under no circumstances should the interior cavity of the mold be lubricated with oils or greases, as this can adversely affect bullet surface quality and mold integrity.

For maintenance, lightly lubricate the sprue cutter screw to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion, thereby maintaining consistent sprue trimming performance.
