Lee Minie Ball Mold .50cal - .500 360m W/handles

The Lee Minie Ball Mold .50cal - .500 360m W/handles is a precision casting tool purpose-built for serious black powder shooters, historical reenactors, and dedicated muzzleloading enthusiasts who demand authentic ammunition production. This mold represents decades of Lee's commitment to reliability in the reloading and casting space, serving shooters who require period-correct .50 caliber projectiles for reproduction rifles, muskets, and historical firearms. Whether you're preparing for a competition, maintaining a collection of antique arms, or practicing authentic frontier marksmanship, this casting mold delivers consistent results shot after shot.

Engineered for the .50 caliber bore, this mold produces the classic Minie ball profile—a conical projectile with a hollow skirt designed for optimal engagement with rifling and reliable ballistic performance in historical firearms. The integrated handles provide secure grip and positive control during the casting and cooling cycle, reducing fatigue during extended production runs and improving safety when working with molten lead. The mold's aluminum or ductile iron construction ensures thermal stability across multiple casting cycles, maintaining dimensional consistency that translates to uniform bullet flight and terminal performance. At 360 grains, each cast projectile delivers the authentic ballistic characteristics expected from genuine .50 caliber muzzleloading ammunition.

This mold is essential for shooters operating outside the modern commercial ammunition supply chain—particularly those fielding military surplus muskets, custom-built percussion rifles, or flintlock hunting pieces where factory ammunition is unavailable or prohibitively expensive. Reloaders and casters benefit from the straightforward two-cavity design that allows batch production without complex setup, and the durable construction withstands thousands of casting cycles. Compatibility with standard lead casting equipment and lead ladles makes integration into existing reloading workshops seamless. For competitive muzzleloader events, historical military reenactment, or serious hunting with black powder arms, the Lee Minie Ball Mold .50cal delivers the precision and consistency required for match-grade performance.
