Lee Two-Cavity Bullet Mold for .30 Caliber Reloading

Designed for precision casting, this Lee bullet mold features two cavities optimized for .309 inch diameter projectiles, producing bullets weighing approximately 120 grains. It is specifically engineered for use with gas-check bullets compatible with calibers such as .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and other similar cartridges.

With a ballistic coefficient of .163, these bullets offer reliable external ballistics performance suitable for medium-range hunting and target shooting applications.

Lee’s two-cavity molds represent an excellent balance between quality and affordability, making them a preferred choice among metallic and semi-metallic reloaders who demand consistent bullet dimensions without incurring excessive costs.

Manufactured from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, these molds provide superior thermal conductivity compared to traditional iron or steel molds. This characteristic allows for faster heat absorption and cooling cycles during the casting process, significantly improving production efficiency and reducing bullet casting times.

The lightweight aluminum construction reduces operator fatigue during extended casting sessions, as these molds weigh approximately one-third less than their iron or steel counterparts. This ergonomic advantage facilitates prolonged use without compromising precision or safety.

The mold halves are securely clamped together using sturdy wooden-handled tongs, ensuring tight closure and consistent bullet shape with every cast. This robust assembly minimizes flash and promotes uniform bullet weight and dimensions.

Note that bullet weights produced may vary slightly depending on the specific lead alloy composition utilized during casting, so reloaders should verify projectile weights before loading.

Equipped with an integrated sprue cutter blade, this mold efficiently severs excess molten lead from the sprue, allowing for clean separation of finished bullets and reducing post-casting cleanup time.

The package includes high-quality tongs for safe handling and operation of the mold during the casting process.

For optimal performance, it is highly recommended to thoroughly degrease the mold prior to initial use. Additionally, seasoning the mold by applying a light coating of mold release agent or “smoking” the interior surface helps prevent lead adhesion and extends mold life.

Under no circumstances should the interior cavity surfaces be lubricated with grease or oil, as this can cause defects in the bullet surface and potentially dangerous casting conditions.

Lightly lubricate the sprue cutter retaining screw to maintain smooth operation and prevent seizing over time.

This Lee two-cavity bullet mold is an indispensable tool for precision bullet casting enthusiasts engaged in metallic and semi-metallic reloading, delivering consistent, high-quality projectiles suitable for hunting, target shooting, and ballistic experimentation.
