Original Minie Mold Caliber 58-575-500M for Bullet Casting and Reloading

90481

Lee Single Cavity Mold for .58 Caliber Bullets

Authentic reproduction of the classic .575 diameter Minie bullet, weighing approximately 500 grains, designed for precision casting and optimal ballistic performance.

 

This bullet features a hollow base design, enhancing expansion and improving accuracy in muzzleloading and black powder firearms.

 

Lee’s single cavity molds are an excellent choice for metallic and semi-metallic reloaders seeking high-quality bullet molds at an economical price point, ideal for both novice and experienced casters.

 

Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, these molds offer superior durability and longevity compared to traditional iron or steel molds, ensuring consistent bullet dimensions over extended use.

 

Aluminum molds have excellent thermal conductivity, allowing them to absorb and dissipate heat rapidly. This results in faster cooling cycles and increased production rates during bullet casting sessions.

 

Due to their efficient heat transfer properties, these molds enable reloaders to begin storing cast bullets after producing only a small batch, maintaining uniformity and reducing the risk of casting defects.

 

Weighing approximately one-third less than comparable iron or steel molds, Lee aluminum molds reduce operator fatigue during prolonged casting operations, enhancing comfort and precision.

 

The mold halves are securely fastened with durable wooden-handled tongs, providing a firm grip and ease of handling throughout the casting process.

 

Note that bullet weights may vary slightly depending on the specific lead alloy used, affecting final grain measurements and ballistic characteristics.

 

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

 

The package includes high-quality tongs for safe and efficient mold manipulation during casting.

 

For optimal mold performance and longevity, it is highly recommended to thoroughly degrease the mold prior to initial use. Additionally, seasoning the mold by applying smoke or a specialized mold release agent will enhance bullet release and prevent lead buildup.
