Lee Conical Cap and Ball Mould (Handles Included) - Double Cavity .456" 220 gr

The Lee Conical Cap and Ball Mould (Handles Included) – Double Cavity .456" 220 gr is a precision casting tool designed for shooters who reload black powder cartridges and cast their own projectiles. This double cavity aluminum mould produces consistent, uniform round balls suitable for period-correct firearms, muzzleloading rifles, and historical shooting sports where hand-cast ammunition is standard practice.

The mould body is constructed from aluminum for corrosion resistance during repeated casting cycles, while the steel sprue cutters withstand the thermal stress of molten lead. The .456" cavity diameter and 220-grain nominal weight target medium to large bore black powder applications. Lee's double cavity design accelerates production—casting two balls per cycle—without sacrificing roundness consistency. Included handles provide safe, ergonomic grip during the hot metal work inherent to bullet casting. The mould's compact dimensions (2.6 x 2 x 10.8 inches) and 0.89 lb weight make it portable for range sessions or reloading bench setups where space is limited.

This mould serves black powder enthusiasts, historical reenactors, muzzleloader hunters, and dedicated handloaders who demand control over ammunition assembly. Users casting for rifles chambered in obsolete or large-bore cartridges—such as .45-70 Government or various Sharps calibers—benefit from the ability to produce projectiles matched to their specific barrels and powder charges. Serious competitors in black powder benchrest and long-range shooting rely on hand-cast ammunition for precision and cost efficiency. Lee Precision has established a reputation for manufacturing reloading equipment with straightforward engineering and reliable performance across decades of production.
