LEE TL 2-Cavity Mold specifically engineered for .38 Special, .357 Magnum, and .38 Colt New Police calibers, delivering precision casting for advanced metallic and semi-metallic bullet reloading applications.
Featuring a .358 inch diameter with a 158-grain round flat nose (RF) profile, this mold is optimized for consistent bullet weight and shape, ideal for competitive shooting and hunting scenarios requiring reliable terminal ballistics.
Ballistic Coefficient (BC) of .160 ensures stable flight characteristics and enhanced accuracy over typical handgun ranges, making it suitable for both target shooting and defensive loads.
LEEs 2-cavity molds represent an excellent balance between quality craftsmanship and cost-efficiency, tailored for reloaders who demand precision without compromising budget constraints.
Constructed from high-grade aluminum blocks, these molds offer superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional iron or steel molds, extending tool longevity and maintaining casting integrity over extensive use.
Aluminum molds exhibit faster thermal cyclingcooling and heating more rapidly than their iron counterpartsallowing for increased casting throughput and reduced downtime during bullet production sessions.
Additionally, the lightweight nature of aluminum, approximately one-third the weight of iron or steel molds, reduces operator fatigue during prolonged casting operations, enhancing user comfort and efficiency.
The mold halves are securely clamped together using robust wooden-handled sprue tongs, ensuring zero lateral or vertical movement during the molten lead pouring process, which is critical for maintaining dimensional accuracy and surface finish quality of the bullets.
Note that bullet weights may vary slightly depending on the specific lead alloy composition employed, including variations in tin, antimony, and other semi-metallic additives used to optimize hardness and casting characteristics.
Included sprue tongs feature ergonomic wooden grips for safe handling and precise mold manipulation, enhancing operator control during high-temperature casting procedures.
The mold incorporates an integrated sprue cutter blade designed to efficiently sever excess molten lead from the bullet base, facilitating clean separation and minimizing post-casting finishing work.
For optimal mold performance and bullet quality, it is strongly recommended to thoroughly degrease the mold prior to initial use. Additionally, seasoning the mold by applying a light coating of mold release agents or smoke treatment helps prevent lead adhesion and promotes smoother bullet extraction.
Under no circumstances should the interior cavity surfaces be lubricated with oils or greases, as this can degrade bullet surface quality and potentially cause casting defects.
Light lubrication of the sprue cutter retaining screw is advisable to maintain smooth operation and prevent corrosion, ensuring consistent sprue trimming throughout the molds service life.
