Lee Precision 90448 Double Cavity .490 Round Ball Bullet Mold

The Lee Precision 90448 bullet mold delivers consistent .490 caliber round balls for black powder shooters and muzzleloading enthusiasts. This double cavity design cuts casting time in half while maintaining the dimensional accuracy Lee Precision is known for across their extensive mold lineup.

What Makes This Different

Unlike single cavity molds that slow down production, this double cavity configuration produces two identical .490 round balls per pour. The precision-machined aluminum construction ensures uniform bullet weight and diameter shot after shot. Heat distribution remains even across both cavities, preventing the weight variations common with inferior multi-cavity designs.

Key Features

• Double cavity design produces two .490 round balls per casting cycle
• Precision-machined aluminum blocks for consistent bullet dimensions
• Hardened steel guide pins maintain perfect cavity alignment
• Produces bullets weighing approximately 177 grains
• Compatible with standard Lee handles and mold guide systems
• Smooth cavity finish reduces bullet defects and sticking
• Sprue plate cuts cleanly for minimal finishing work required

This mold performs reliably with pure lead or lead alloys commonly used in muzzleloading applications. The .490 diameter works perfectly in .50 caliber rifles with appropriate patch thickness. Consistent bullet weight translates directly to improved accuracy downrange, whether shooting target competitions or hunting whitetail deer. The aluminum construction heats quickly and maintains temperature better than iron molds.
