Mold 1 Cavity C309-200-R (.30 Caliber)

90370

LEE single-cavity bullet mold designed specifically for .30 caliber rifle projectiles, ideal for precision handloaders and ballistic enthusiasts seeking consistent and reliable bullet casting solutions.

Featuring a diameter of .309 inches and producing 200-grain round-nose bullets equipped with Gas-Chek bases, this mold is optimized for cartridges such as the .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and other similar .30 caliber rifle rounds.

With a ballistic coefficient of approximately .352, bullets cast from this mold offer excellent aerodynamic performance, contributing to improved downrange accuracy and energy retention.

LEE’s single-cavity molds represent a cost-effective yet high-quality option for reloaders who demand precision without compromising budget. Crafted from durable aluminum blocks, these molds provide superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional iron or steel molds.

Aluminum construction allows for faster thermal cycling—cooling and heating more rapidly than iron molds—thus enhancing casting efficiency and reducing wait times between pours during bullet production sessions.

Additionally, the aluminum blocks weigh approximately one-third less than their iron or steel counterparts, significantly reducing user fatigue during extended casting operations and improving overall handling comfort.

The mold halves are securely clamped together using robust wooden-handled tongs, ensuring zero movement or misalignment when closed and ready to be filled with molten lead or lead alloys.

Note that the indicated bullet weights may vary slightly depending on the specific lead or lead alloy composition used during casting, affecting density and final projectile mass.

The included tongs feature ergonomic wooden grips for safe and comfortable handling, providing excellent leverage and control throughout the casting process.

A practical integrated sprue cutter efficiently severs the lead flow channel, 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 by applying smoke or a specialized mold treatment product helps prevent lead adhesion and ensures smooth casting cycles.

Never lubricate the interior cavity of the mold, as this can adversely affect bullet surface finish and mold integrity.

Lightly lubricate the sprue cutter screw to maintain smooth operation and prevent corrosion, ensuring consistent sprue trimming performance over time.
