Description

Lee Double Cavity Mold 459-500-3R .459 500gr #90577

Lee Bullet Molds are an excellent choice for reloaders searching for a high-quality, low-cost mold. Lee's mold blocks are made of aluminum and are rust resistant. Aluminum molds heat and cool faster than iron or steel molds, and good bullets can usually be made after only a few casts. Furthermore, aluminum mold blocks are one-third the weight of iron or steel mold blocks, resulting in reduced fatigue for the bullet caster during long casting sessions.

Lee Double Cavity Mold produces a .459 diameter 500 grain round nose bullet suitable for 45-70 Caliber Rifle.
