The Lee Precision 90451 Double Cavity Mold transforms raw lead into precision .22 caliber bullets for cost-effective reloading. This aluminum mold produces two identical bullets per casting cycle, doubling productivity compared to single-cavity alternatives.
What Makes This Different
Unlike steel molds that require extensive preheating, this aluminum construction reaches optimal casting temperature quickly and maintains consistent heat distribution. The double-cavity design cuts casting time in half while ensuring both bullets maintain identical dimensions. Lee's precision machining creates sharp, clean bullet profiles that require minimal finishing work.
Key Features
- Double-cavity design produces two .22 caliber bullets per pour
- Aluminum construction for rapid heat-up and even temperature distribution
- Includes ergonomic wooden handles for safe operation
- Precision-machined cavities ensure consistent bullet dimensions
- Sprue plate design allows clean bullet separation
- Compatible with standard lead alloys and casting equipment
- Produces round nose bullet profile suitable for target shooting
This mold handles standard wheel weight alloys and pure lead equally well, maintaining sharp cavity details through thousands of casting cycles. The aluminum material prevents lead adhesion while delivering consistent bullet weights within +/- 0.5 grains. Shooters report excellent accuracy in bolt-action rifles and semi-automatic platforms when bullets are properly sized and lubricated.
