Mold 452-255-RF for Precision Reloading and Rifle Bullet Casting

90358

LEE 2-Cavity Bullet Mold designed specifically for .45 Colt (Long Colt) and .454 Casull calibers, engineered for precision casting and consistent bullet production.

This mold produces a .452 diameter, 255-grain round flat nose (RF) projectile optimized for .45 Colt (Long Colt) and .454 Casull cartridges, ideal for metallic and semi-metallic reloading applications requiring high accuracy and reliable ballistic performance.

Featuring a ballistic coefficient of .210, these bullets offer excellent external ballistics suitable for both target shooting and hunting scenarios where controlled expansion and penetration are critical.

LEE’s 2-cavity molds represent an excellent value for reloaders seeking durable, high-quality bullet molds at a competitive price point, combining efficiency with precision engineering.

Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum blocks, these molds provide superior thermal conductivity compared to traditional iron or steel molds, allowing faster heat transfer during the casting process. This results in reduced cycle times and improved bullet consistency.

Aluminum mold blocks cool and heat more rapidly than iron molds, enabling reloaders to maintain optimal casting temperatures and improve workflow efficiency during extended casting sessions.

Additionally, the aluminum construction reduces overall mold weight by approximately one-third compared to iron or steel molds, minimizing user fatigue during prolonged use and enhancing handling comfort.

The two halves of the mold are securely clamped together using wooden-handled tongs, ensuring zero movement during the casting process and guaranteeing precise bullet dimensions with each pour.

Note that the indicated bullet weights may vary slightly depending on the specific lead alloy composition used, as alloy density and melting characteristics influence final projectile mass.

The included tongs feature ergonomic wooden grips for safe, comfortable handling when opening and closing the mold under high temperatures.

A practical built-in sprue cutter efficiently severs the molten lead feed, facilitating clean release of the finished bullets and minimizing post-casting cleanup.

For optimal mold longevity and bullet quality, it is highly recommended to thoroughly degrease the mold prior to initial use. Additionally, seasoning the mold with smoke or applying manufacturer-recommended mold treatments helps prevent lead adhesion and enhances casting performance.

Never lubricate the interior cavity of the mold, as this can degrade bullet surface finish and cause dimensional inconsistencies.

Lightly lubricate the sprue cutter retaining screw to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion, maintaining the mold’s functional integrity over time.
