R.E.A.L. Mold Caliber 54-300 gr. for Reloading and Precision Shooting
Lee 1-Cavity Mold for .54 Caliber
R.E.A.L. Mold with a diameter of .577 inches - 300 grains bullet weight - precision engineered for optimal ballistic performance.
Lee 2-Cavity molds represent an excellent choice for metallic and semi-metallic reloaders seeking high-quality bullet molds at an economical price point, combining durability with precision casting capabilities.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, Lee molds offer superior longevity and reliability in demanding reloading environments, resisting oxidation and wear better than traditional iron or steel molds.
Aluminum molds exhibit enhanced thermal conductivity, allowing them to absorb heat rapidly during the casting process and cool down faster than their iron or steel counterparts. This thermal efficiency results in quicker cycle times and improved bullet consistency.
Reloaders can begin accumulating cast bullets efficiently even from small batch productions, facilitating incremental inventory build-up without sacrificing quality or uniformity.
Weighing approximately one-third less than iron or steel molds, aluminum molds reduce operator fatigue during extended casting sessions, improving handling ergonomics and casting precision.
The mold halves are securely fastened using robust wooden-handled clamps, ensuring tight closure and minimizing lead leakage, which is critical for producing dimensionally accurate projectiles.
Note that the indicated bullet weights may vary slightly depending on the specific lead alloy composition used, affecting bullet mass and ballistic characteristics.
Each mold features an integrated sprue cutter blade that functions as a lead pour spout, facilitating clean separation of finished bullets from the sprue, thereby enhancing casting efficiency and reducing finishing time.
Included with the mold are heavy-duty clamps designed for safe and comfortable handling during the casting process.
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 residue or a specialized mold release agent helps prevent lead adhesion and ensures smooth bullet release during repeated casting cycles.
