LEE 2-Cavity Mold for .50-70 Caliber Reloading
This precision-engineered LEE 2-cavity bullet mold is specifically designed for the .50-70 caliber, featuring a diameter of .515 inches and producing bullets weighing approximately 450 grains with a flat nose profile. The mold delivers consistent bullet dimensions optimized for metallic and semi-metallic reloading applications, ensuring superior ballistic performance.
The bullet cast from this mold exhibits a ballistic coefficient (BC) of approximately 0.220, making it an excellent choice for hunters and marksmen seeking reliable external ballistics and stable trajectory in medium-range shooting scenarios.
LEEs 2-cavity molds are highly regarded among handloaders and precision shooters for their balance of quality craftsmanship and cost-effectiveness. Constructed from high-grade aluminum alloy blocks, these molds offer excellent corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity, which significantly enhances casting efficiency.
Compared to traditional iron or steel molds, aluminum molds heat up and cool down more rapidly, allowing for faster cycle times during bullet casting sessions. Additionally, the aluminum construction reduces overall mold weight by approximately one-third, minimizing operator fatigue during extended casting periods.
The mold halves are securely clamped together using robust wooden-handled tongs, ensuring zero lateral movement during the molten lead pouring process. This tight seal guarantees uniform bullet shape and dimensional consistency, critical for precision reloading and optimal chambering in .50-70 firearms.
It is important to note that bullet weights may vary slightly depending on the specific lead alloy composition used during casting, as alloy density influences final projectile mass.
The included tongs feature ergonomic wooden grips for comfortable handling and precise mold manipulation. A built-in sprue cutter efficiently trims excess molten lead from the bullet base, facilitating clean separation of finished projectiles and reducing post-casting cleanup.
Prior to initial use, it is highly recommended to thoroughly degrease the mold cavities to remove any manufacturing residues. Subsequent seasoning of the mold through smoke treatment or application of specialized mold release agents will enhance bullet release and prolong mold lifespan.
Under no circumstances should the interior surfaces of the mold be lubricated with oils or greases, as this can adversely affect bullet surface finish and mold integrity.
Light lubrication of the sprue cutter screw is advised to maintain smooth operation and prevent corrosion, ensuring consistent sprue trimming performance over time.
