R.E.A.L. Combo Mold Caliber .45-200RB .440 for Reloading and Casting
Lee Two-Cavity Mold Combined with a R.E.A.L. Bullet Design
Caliber .45 - 200 Grains with a .440 Diameter Round Ball
This precision-engineered Lee two-cavity mold is specifically designed to cast both a R.E.A.L. (Rifled Energy and Accuracy Loaded) bullet and a traditional round ball, providing versatility for black powder shooters and metallic reloaders alike.
The R.E.A.L. bullet produced by this mold features unique self-cleaning grooves that facilitate easy loading, even in fouled barrels, reducing the need for frequent bore maintenance during extended shooting sessions.
Its aerodynamic profile ensures a stable, tight flight path, making it an ideal hunting projectile when paired with heavier powder charges, delivering superior accuracy and terminal performance on medium to large game.
Large lubrication grooves are incorporated into the bullet design to retain ample lubricant, minimizing leading and barrel fouling during repeated firing cycles.
Lees two-cavity molds offer an excellent balance of quality and affordability, making them a preferred choice among precision reloaders and hunters seeking reliable bullet casting solutions without compromising on performance.
Constructed from high-grade aluminum, these molds provide exceptional corrosion resistance compared to traditional iron or steel molds, ensuring long-lasting durability in various environmental conditions.
Aluminum molds absorb and dissipate heat more rapidly than their iron or steel counterparts, allowing for faster cooling times and increased casting efficiency during batch production.
Reloaders can begin accumulating accurately cast projectiles even from small production runs, optimizing both time and material usage.
Weighing approximately one-third less than iron or steel molds, aluminum molds reduce operator fatigue during extended casting sessions, enhancing overall productivity and comfort.
The mold halves are securely clamped together using wooden-handled tongs, providing a firm grip and precise alignment to ensure consistent bullet dimensions and quality.
Note that the indicated bullet weights may vary slightly depending on the specific lead alloy composition used during casting, which can affect density and final projectile mass.
Each mold features a practical sprue cutter blade that acts as a lead feeder, allowing for clean separation of the finished projectiles from the sprue, minimizing waste and post-casting cleanup.
The package includes sturdy tongs for safe and ergonomic mold handling during the casting process.
For optimal mold performance and longevity, it is highly recommended to thoroughly degrease the mold before initial use and to season it by smoking or applying a manufacturer-recommended mold release agent to prevent lead adhesion and ensure smooth bullet extraction.
