The Lee Precision 90303 delivers consistent .358 caliber bullets through its precision-engineered double cavity design. This aluminum and wood construction mold produces two identical bullets per casting cycle, doubling productivity for reloaders who demand efficiency without sacrificing quality.
What Makes This Different
Unlike single cavity molds that require multiple pours for small batches, this double cavity configuration cuts casting time in half while maintaining Lee Precision's reputation for dimensional consistency. The aluminum construction provides superior heat transfer compared to iron alternatives, enabling faster cycle times and more uniform bullet formation. Temperature stability remains consistent across both cavities, ensuring matched bullet weights within 0.5 grains.
Key Features
- Double cavity design produces 2 bullets per pour for increased efficiency
- Aluminum construction with hardwood handles for optimal heat management
- Precision-machined cavities maintain consistent bullet dimensions
- .358 caliber compatibility for 38 Special, 357 Magnum, and similar cartridges
- Integrated sprue plate design eliminates separate cutting tools
- Heat-resistant wooden handles prevent burns during extended casting sessions
- CNC-machined alignment pins ensure perfect cavity registration
Casting performance remains stable across temperature ranges typical in home reloading environments. The mold reaches optimal operating temperature within 10-15 pours and maintains consistency through extended sessions. Bullet release occurs cleanly without sticking when proper mold temperature is achieved. The aluminum construction dissipates heat evenly, preventing hot spots that can cause dimensional variations between cavities.
