Lee 2-Cavity Mold for .45 Caliber Reloading

R.E.A.L. Mold with a .467-inch Diameter - 250 Grains Bullet Weight

 

The Lee 2-cavity molds represent an excellent choice for precision handloaders and ballistic enthusiasts seeking a high-quality bullet casting mold at an economical price point. These molds are engineered to deliver consistent bullet dimensions suitable for .45 caliber firearms, optimizing accuracy and terminal performance.

 

Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, Lee molds provide superior durability and longevity compared to traditional steel or iron molds. The aluminum composition facilitates rapid thermal conductivity, allowing the mold to absorb and dissipate heat more efficiently during the casting process. This thermal efficiency significantly reduces cycle times between pours, enhancing overall production rates.

 

Due to their lightweight design—approximately one-third the weight of conventional iron or steel molds—these aluminum molds reduce operator fatigue during extended casting sessions. The ergonomic wooden handles attached to the robust clamp mechanism ensure a secure grip and precise mold alignment, critical for producing uniform, high-quality projectiles.

 

The mold cavities are designed to produce bullets weighing approximately 250 grains with a diameter of .467 inches, ideal for various .45 caliber cartridges. It is important to note that the actual bullet weight may vary slightly depending on the specific lead alloy used during casting, as different alloys have varying densities and melting characteristics.

 

Each mold features an integrated sprue cutter blade that functions as a lead gate, facilitating the clean release of cast bullets and minimizing excess lead flash. This design element streamlines post-casting cleanup and ensures consistent bullet base geometry, which is essential for reliable chambering and ballistic performance.

 

Included with the mold are high-quality tongs designed for safe and efficient handling of the hot mold during casting operations. 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 a light coating of mold release agent or smoke treatment enhances bullet release and prevents lead adhesion.

 

Overall, the Lee 2-cavity aluminum mold offers reloaders a cost-effective, durable, and efficient solution for producing precision .45 caliber bullets, making it an indispensable tool for metallic and semi-metallic bullet casting and reloading applications.
