Lee Double Cavity Mold - .452-228-1r W/handles

The Lee Double Cavity Mold - .452-228-1r W/handles is a precision reloading tool designed for shooters and handloaders who demand consistent, repeatable bullet casting for centerfire pistol ammunition. This dual-cavity mold is engineered for producing .452-diameter, 228-grain round-nose projectiles suitable for .45 ACP and .45 Colt cartridges—two of the most popular defensive and hunting rounds in North America. Whether you're a competitive shooter, law enforcement professional, or serious reloader, this mold delivers the volumetric accuracy needed for match-grade ammunition production.

The double-cavity design accelerates production by casting two bullets simultaneously, reducing per-round casting time while maintaining dimensional consistency critical for reliable chambering and ballistic performance. The round-nose profile minimizes feeding issues common with some flat-point designs and provides the terminal characteristics preferred by .45 ACP and .45 Colt shooters. Integrated handles eliminate the need for separate mold handles, improving ergonomics during high-volume casting sessions and reducing heat transfer to your hands. The mold's casting weight of 228 grains is optimized for standard .45 ACP NATO specifications and delivers reliable expansion and penetration downrange.

This mold is ideal for reloaders who cast their own ammunition in batch quantities, particularly those loading for duty weapons, concealed-carry platforms, or competition shooting where ammunition costs and supply chain reliability matter. The .452 bore diameter ensures proper engagement with .45 ACP and .45 Colt chambers without sizing issues. Compatible with all standard lead ingots and alloys used in pistol reloading, this Lee mold represents a foundational investment in ammunition independence and long-term cost reduction for dedicated handloaders.
