Lee Round Flat Nose Rifle Mould - Double Cavity (Handles Included) .457" 450 gr

The Lee Round Flat Nose Rifle Mould - Double Cavity for .457" 450 gr is a precision bullet casting tool designed for serious reloaders and tactical shooters who demand consistency and cost-effectiveness in ammunition production. Built by Lee Precision, a trusted manufacturer with decades of casting expertise, this double-cavity mould enables shooters to cast multiple rounds per cycle, dramatically reducing production time while maintaining uniformity. Whether you're running a high-volume training regiment, preparing for competition, or sustaining field operations, casting your own heavy rifle projectiles gives you complete control over ammunition specifications and cost per round.

The dual-cavity design maximizes efficiency by producing two 450-grain round flat nose bullets per pour, minimizing handling time and material waste. The .457" diameter and flat nose profile are engineered for rifles chambered in large-bore cartridges such as .45-70 Government, commonly used in lever-action rifles and single-shot platforms favored by hunters and tactical marksmen. The mould comes complete with handles, eliminating the need for separate purchases—simply attach, heat, and cast. Lee's aluminum construction provides excellent heat transfer and durability, while the flat nose design reduces air pockets and ensures uniform ballistic performance downrange. The 450-grain weight delivers substantial energy retention, critical for medium to large game or tactical applications where penetration and impact are paramount.

This mould is ideal for .45-70 Government handloaders, historical firearms enthusiasts, and shooters who rely on lever-action or break-action rifles in demanding environments. Law enforcement and military marksmen using vintage or specialized large-bore platforms benefit from the cost savings and supply chain independence that on-site casting provides. Compatible with any standard Lee casting furnace or traditional ladle method, the included handles integrate seamlessly into established reloading workflows. Proper bullet sizing—typically 0.458" to 0.460"—and hardness testing ensure reliable chambering and consistent ballistics across all loaded rounds.
