R.E.A.L. Mold Caliber 50-320 gr. for Hunting, Shooting, and Reloading
Lee Single Cavity Mold for .50 Caliber
R.E.A.L. Mold with a .517 inch diameter and an approximate bullet weight of 320 grains
Lees single cavity molds are engineered for precision bullet casting, offering an excellent balance between quality and cost-efficiency for metallic and semimetallic reloaders focused on caliber .50 projectiles.
Constructed from high-grade aluminum, Lee molds provide superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional iron or steel molds, ensuring long-term durability and consistent performance in bullet production.
Aluminum molds exhibit enhanced thermal conductivity, allowing them to absorb and dissipate heat more rapidly than their iron or steel counterparts. This property significantly reduces cooling times during casting cycles, increasing overall throughput and efficiency.
The lightweight design of aluminum moldsapproximately one-third the weight of iron or steel moldsminimizes operator fatigue during extended casting sessions, making them ideal for reloaders who cast large quantities of projectiles.
These molds are securely fastened with robust wooden-handled tongs, providing a stable grip and precise control during the molten metal pouring and cooling phases, which is critical for achieving consistent bullet dimensions and weight.
Due to variations in lead alloy composition and casting conditions, the indicated bullet weights may fluctuate slightly, so reloaders should verify projectile weight for optimal ballistic performance.
Each mold features an integrated sprue cutter blade that functions as a lead feeder, facilitating clean separation of finished bullets from the sprue, thereby reducing post-casting cleanup and improving workflow efficiency.
The package includes the necessary tongs to operate the mold safely and effectively, ensuring proper 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 smoking it or applying a specialized mold release agent enhances bullet release and prevents lead adhesion, contributing to consistent casting results.
