LEE Two-Cavity Ball Mold for .380 Caliber Ammunition
Designed specifically for use with muzzleloading firearms or for casting high-quality projectiles intended for hunting cartridges, this precision-engineered mold ensures consistent bullet production tailored to the demands of metallic and semi-metallic reloading enthusiasts.
Constructed to support high-volume casting operations, the mold facilitates efficient production of lead projectiles with superior dimensional accuracy and uniform weight distribution, critical for achieving optimal ballistic performance in the field.
The mold features a robust aluminum block reinforced with hardened steel bushings, providing exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion under rigorous casting conditions. Precision alignment pins guarantee perfect cavity registration, eliminating flash and ensuring clean, well-defined bullet profiles.
Compared to traditional iron molds, the aluminum construction offers significantly faster thermal response times, allowing rapid heating and cooling cycles that expedite reaching and maintaining the ideal casting temperature. This thermal efficiency translates into increased throughput and reduced downtime during extended casting sessions.
Additionally, the aluminum block weighs approximately one-third less than equivalent iron molds, substantially reducing operator fatigue during prolonged use and enhancing overall handling ergonomics.
The two aluminum blocks are securely clamped together with included tongs, preventing any unwanted movement or misalignment while pouring molten lead into the cavities, thereby ensuring consistent projectile integrity and minimizing casting defects.
Equipped with an anodized, extra-hard gating plate featuring an integrated sprue cutter, the mold delivers precise and clean separation of cast bullets from the gating system. This design element guarantees a smooth, burr-free finish on each projectile, optimizing them for immediate sizing and loading.
It is important to note that the final projectile weights may vary depending on the specific lead alloy composition used during casting, necessitating careful alloy selection and weight verification for precision reloading.
The package includes specialized tongs designed for safe and efficient opening and closing of the mold, enhancing user safety and operational convenience.
For optimal mold longevity and casting quality, it is strongly recommended to thoroughly degrease the mold prior to initial use. Additionally, seasoning the mold by smoking or applying manufacturer-recommended mold release agents will improve bullet release and extend mold life.
Never apply grease or lubricant to the interior cavity surfaces, as this can cause casting defects and compromise projectile quality.
Light lubrication of the sprue plate retention screw is advised to maintain smooth operation and prevent seizing during repeated casting cycles.
