Mold C285-130-R (7mm Caliber)
Lee Two-Cavity Bullet Mold for 7mm Caliber Reloading Applications.
Designed for .285 diameter bullets weighing approximately 130 grains, this mold features a "R" design optimized for Gas-Check applications, ensuring superior obturation and consistent ballistic performance.
Ballistic Coefficient: .305, providing enhanced aerodynamic efficiency for long-range precision shooting.
Lees two-cavity bullet molds represent an excellent solution for precision handloaders and metallic reloaders seeking high-quality bullet casting tools at an economical price point, without compromising on durability or accuracy.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, these molds offer superior thermal conductivity compared to traditional iron or steel molds, allowing for faster heat absorption and more rapid cooling cycles during bullet casting.
The enhanced thermal properties of aluminum molds reduce cycle times significantly, enabling reloaders to produce consistent projectiles efficiently, even when casting small batches.
With a weight approximately one-third that of comparable iron or steel molds, these aluminum molds reduce operator fatigue during extended casting sessions, improving overall workflow and precision.
The mold halves are securely fastened using robust wooden-handled tongs, providing ergonomic handling and ensuring tight closure for precise bullet dimensions and minimal flash.
Note that bullet weights may vary slightly due to differences in lead alloy composition and casting conditions, so fine-tuning your load data is recommended for optimal ballistic consistency.
Equipped with an integrated sprue cutter blade, this mold facilitates clean separation of molten lead from the bullet cavity, producing smooth, finished projectiles ready for sizing and coating.
Included with the mold are high-quality tongs designed for safe and effective mold manipulation during the casting process.
For best results, thoroughly degrease the mold prior to initial use and apply a light coating of mold-specific seasoning or smoke treatment to enhance bullet release and prolong mold life.
Important: Never lubricate the interior of the mold cavity, as this can degrade bullet surface quality and affect dimensional accuracy.
Apply a minimal amount of lubricant to the sprue cutter screw to maintain smooth operation and prevent corrosion.
