.530 Caliber Bullet Mold
LEE Cast Mold featuring 2 precision-engineered cavities for .530 caliber spherical bullets, designed specifically for advanced muzzleloading firearms and metallic cartridge hunting applications.
Optimized for high-volume production of cast projectiles, this mold ensures consistent bullet dimensions and superior ballistic performance for both traditional black powder shooting and modern metallic cartridge reloading.
Constructed from a robust aluminum block reinforced with hardened steel bushings, the mold incorporates precision alignment pins to maintain perfect cavity registration, enhancing repeatability and minimizing flash during casting operations. The corrosion-resistant materials guarantee long-term durability even under rigorous field and workshop conditions.
Aluminums superior thermal conductivity compared to cast iron allows this mold to heat and cool more rapidly, significantly reducing cycle times and enabling faster attainment of optimal casting temperatures. This thermal efficiency translates into improved workflow and increased projectile output during extended casting sessions.
Additionally, the molds lightweight aluminum constructionapproximately one-third lighter than traditional iron moldsreduces operator fatigue during prolonged use, making it ideal for reloaders and hunters who require sustained casting performance.
The dual aluminum blocks are securely clamped with included tongs, preventing any lateral movement or misalignment when pouring molten lead or lead alloys, thereby ensuring precise bullet formation and minimizing defects.
Equipped with an anodized, extra-hard sprue plate and cutter, this mold delivers a clean, complete cut of the cast projectiles, eliminating excess lead and reducing post-casting finishing time. The sprue plates durability withstands repeated thermal cycling and mechanical wear.
Note that bullet weights may vary slightly depending on the specific lead alloy composition and casting parameters employed.
Included with the mold are specialized tongs designed for secure opening and closing, facilitating safe and efficient handling during the casting process.
For optimal performance, it is highly recommended to thoroughly degrease the mold prior to initial use. Additionally, seasoning the mold by smoking or applying a manufacturer-recommended mold release agent will enhance bullet release and prolong mold life.
Never lubricate the interior cavity surfaces, as this can adversely affect bullet quality and mold integrity.
Lightly lubricate the sprue plate retention screw to ensure smooth operation without compromising the molds sealing capability.
