Lee 1-Cavity Mold for .50 Caliber Bullets

Precision-engineered and optimized for casting the .500 caliber Minie bullet, featuring a diameter of .500 inches and a weight of approximately 360 grains. This mold is specifically designed for producing high-quality hollow base projectiles ideal for black powder rifles and traditional muzzleloaders.

Hollow base bullet design enhances expansion and accuracy by allowing the skirt to expand upon firing, ensuring a tight seal within the barrel and improved ballistic performance.

Lee 2-cavity molds represent an excellent choice for metallic and semimetallic reloaders seeking durable, cost-effective bullet molds without compromising on precision or consistency.

Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum, Lee molds offer superior thermal conductivity compared to traditional iron or steel molds. This characteristic allows for faster heat absorption and cooling cycles, significantly reducing casting times and enhancing production efficiency.

Due to their lightweight aluminum construction—approximately one-third the weight of iron or steel counterparts—these molds reduce operator fatigue during extended casting sessions, enabling reloaders to maintain consistent quality over longer periods.

The mold halves are securely fastened using robust wooden-handled tongs, providing a firm grip and precise alignment to ensure uniform bullet dimensions and minimize casting defects.

It is important to note that the bullet weights produced may vary slightly depending on the specific lead alloy composition used during casting, which can affect density and final projectile mass.

Equipped with an integrated sprue cutter blade, the mold facilitates clean separation of molten lead runners, allowing for efficient release of fully formed bullets and minimizing post-casting cleanup.

Included with the mold are high-quality tongs designed for safe and ergonomic handling during the casting process.

For optimal mold longevity and bullet quality, it is highly recommended to thoroughly degrease the mold before initial use. Additionally, seasoning the mold by applying a light coating of mold release agent or smoking it with candle or beeswax residue helps prevent lead adhesion and extends mold life.
