Mold 429-240-2R for Precision Hunting, Shooting, and Reloading Bullets
LEE 2-Cavity Bullet Mold specifically engineered for .44 Special, .44 Remington Magnum, and .44-40 calibers, delivering precision and consistency for metallic and semi-metallic bullet casting applications.
This mold produces .429 diameter bullets weighing approximately 195 grains with a 2-Ring (2R) design, optimized for superior ballistic performance in .44 Special, .44 Remington Magnum, and .44-40 cartridges.
Featuring a ballistic coefficient of .196, these bullets offer enhanced aerodynamic efficiency and improved downrange accuracy, making them ideal for both target shooting and hunting scenarios.
LEEs 2-cavity molds represent an excellent balance between quality craftsmanship and cost-effectiveness, catering to reloaders who demand reliable bullet molds without compromising on precision or durability.
Constructed from high-grade aluminum blocks, these molds exhibit exceptional corrosion resistance, ensuring long-lasting performance even under rigorous casting conditions.
Aluminum molds provide faster thermal response times compared to traditional iron molds, allowing for quicker heating and cooling cycles that improve casting efficiency and reduce downtime between pours.
Additionally, the aluminum construction reduces the overall weight by approximately one-third relative to iron or steel molds, minimizing operator fatigue during extended bullet casting sessions.
The two halves of the mold are securely clamped together using robust wooden-handled tongs, guaranteeing zero movement during the casting process and ensuring perfectly formed bullets with consistent dimensions.
Note that bullet weights may vary slightly depending on the specific lead alloy composition utilized during casting, so reloaders should verify weights for optimal load development.
The package includes ergonomic wooden grips on the tongs for comfortable handling and precise mold manipulation throughout the casting cycle.
Equipped with a practical integrated sprue cutter, this mold facilitates clean separation of the molten lead from the bullet, streamlining the casting process and enhancing bullet quality.
For best results, it is highly recommended to thoroughly degrease the mold prior to initial use and to season it with smoke or a specialized mold treatment product to improve release properties and extend mold life.
Under no circumstances should the interior of the mold be lubricated, as this can negatively affect bullet surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
Lightly lubricate the sprue cutter screw to maintain smooth operation and prevent seizing during repetitive casting cycles.
