450-200-IR Conical Bullet Mold Caliber 44 Remington
Lee Two-Cavity Mold for .44 Remington Caliber
.450 Diameter - 200 Grains - 1R Conical Profile Designed for Cap and Ball Revolvers
Lees enhanced single-cavity mold for the .450 caliber Minie ball, weighing approximately 294 grains, offers precision casting for black powder revolver enthusiasts seeking superior ballistic performance and consistency.
Lees single-cavity bullet molds represent an excellent choice for reloaders and handloaders who demand high-quality molds at an economical price point. Manufactured with precision-machined aluminum blocks, these molds provide exceptional corrosion resistance compared to traditional iron or steel molds. Aluminums superior thermal conductivity allows for faster heating and cooling cycles, resulting in more efficient bullet casting and improved bullet uniformity. Typically, quality lead or lead-alloy bullets can only be produced after a limited number of casts with iron or steel molds, whereas aluminum molds extend mold life and reduce casting fatigue.
Additionally, aluminum mold blocks weigh approximately one-third of their iron or steel counterparts, significantly reducing operator fatigue during prolonged casting sessions. To ensure optimal bullet roundness and dimensional control, the mold halves are securely clamped and then precision-bored on a lathe, delivering unparalleled accuracy in bullet diameter and weight consistency. The indicated bullet weights are based on Lees recommended alloy mixtures; actual weights may vary depending on the specific lead or alloy composition used during casting.
