LEE Cast Mold featuring 2 precision-engineered cavities for .457 caliber spherical bullets, optimized for both traditional muzzleloading firearms and modern metallic cartridge hunting applications.
Designed specifically for high-volume production of accurately cast lead projectiles, this mold ensures consistent bullet dimensions and superior ballistic performance essential for precision shooting and effective hunting.
Constructed from a robust aluminum block reinforced with hardened steel bushings, this mold incorporates precision alignment pins to maintain perfect cavity alignment during casting, significantly reducing flash and ensuring uniform bullet weight and shape. The corrosion-resistant materials extend mold longevity even under rigorous field and workshop conditions.
Aluminums superior thermal conductivity allows this mold to heat up and cool down more rapidly than traditional iron molds, enabling faster cycle times and improved temperature control for optimal lead flow and solidification. This thermal efficiency enhances casting consistency, critical for reloaders seeking tight tolerances and ballistic uniformity.
Additionally, the lightweight designapproximately one-third lighter than comparable iron moldsreduces operator fatigue during extended casting sessions, making it ideal for hunters and competitive shooters who require large quantities of quality projectiles.
The two aluminum blocks are securely clamped using included heavy-duty tongs, preventing any unwanted movement or misalignment when pouring molten lead. This stability is crucial for producing defect-free bullets with clean, sharp edges.
Equipped with an anodized, extra-hard sprue plate featuring an integrated pour basin and cutter, the mold facilitates precise trimming of excess lead, resulting in perfectly finished projectiles with clean, consistent bases. This feature is essential for maintaining aerodynamic stability and reliable chambering in both muzzleloaders and cartridge firearms.
Note that final bullet weights may vary depending on the specific lead alloy composition and casting parameters employed, allowing reloaders to tailor projectile characteristics to their specific ballistic requirements.
The package includes specialized tongs designed for easy and secure opening and closing of the mold, enhancing safety and efficiency during the casting process.
For optimal mold performance and longevity, it is highly recommended to thoroughly degrease the mold before initial use. Additionally, seasoning the mold by smoking or applying a manufacturer-recommended mold release agent will improve bullet release and surface finish.
Never lubricate the interior cavity surfaces, as this can adversely affect bullet quality and mold integrity.
Light lubrication of the sprue plate retaining screw is advised to ensure smooth operation and prevent seizing during repetitive casting cycles.
