LEE Casting Mold featuring 6 precision-engineered cavities specifically designed for .45 ACP, .45 Auto Rim, and .45 Colt (Long Colt) calibers. This high-performance mold is optimized for the production of high-quality cast bullets tailored for metallic and semi-metallic reloading applications.
The mold produces bullets with a diameter of .452 inches, weighing approximately 230 grains with a 2R (two-ring) design, ideal for achieving optimal ballistic performance and consistent chambering in revolvers and semi-automatic pistols chambered in these calibers.
Compatible with popular handgun cartridges including .45 ACP, .45 Auto Rim, and .45 Colt (Long Colt), this mold is engineered to deliver precise bullet dimensions and weight consistency, critical for accuracy and reliable terminal ballistics.
Featuring a ballistic coefficient (BC) of .189, these cast projectiles offer enhanced aerodynamic efficiency, improving downrange stability and energy retention, essential for precision shooting and hunting applications.
Constructed for high-volume bullet casting, this mold supports rapid production cycles, enabling reloaders and competitive shooters to efficiently produce large quantities of uniform cast bullets with minimal downtime.
The mold block is crafted from high-grade aluminum alloy combined with durable steel bushings, providing excellent corrosion resistance and structural integrity. Precision alignment pins ensure perfect cavity alignment, eliminating flash and ensuring consistent bullet profiles.
Aluminum molds heat up and cool down significantly faster than traditional iron molds, allowing reloaders to reach and maintain optimal casting temperatures more quickly, thereby improving workflow efficiency and bullet quality.
Additionally, the aluminum construction reduces the molds weight by approximately one-third compared to iron molds, minimizing operator fatigue during extended casting sessions and enhancing handling comfort.
The two aluminum blocks are securely clamped together using specialized mold handles (not included), preventing any movement during the molten lead pour, which is critical for maintaining bullet uniformity and preventing defects.
Equipped with an anodized, extra-hard sprue plate and cutter, this mold ensures a clean, precise cut of the cast bullets, eliminating excess lead and reducing the need for post-casting finishing work. This feature is essential for maintaining consistent bullet weight and shape.
Note that bullet weights may vary slightly depending on the specific lead alloy composition used during casting, so reloaders should verify weights for load development and accuracy tuning.
Mold handles for opening and closing the mold are sold separately under reference number 90005, allowing users to customize their casting setup according to personal preference and ergonomic needs.
For optimal mold performance and longevity, it is highly recommended to thoroughly degrease the mold before initial use. Additionally, applying a recommended mold seasoning agent or light smoke coating can enhance bullet release and reduce surface imperfections.
Never lubricate the interior cavities of the mold, as this can adversely affect bullet surface finish and mold integrity.
Lightly lubricate the sprue plate retention screw to ensure smooth operation and prevent seizing during repeated casting cycles.
