Lee Single Cavity Mold .45/70 - 405 Gr. Hollow Base W/handle*

The Lee Single Cavity Mold .45/70 - 405 Gr. Hollow Base W/handle is purpose-built for serious handloaders and cartridge reloaders who demand precision casting of large-bore rifle projectiles. This single-cavity mold serves the dedicated shooter who processes .45/70 Government ammunition for hunting, long-range shooting, or historical firearms use. The hollow base design reduces overall projectile weight while maintaining ballistic performance, making it ideal for shooters seeking cost-effective ammunition production without sacrificing accuracy or reliability.

Manufactured by Lee Precision, this mold casts 405-grain projectiles with consistent dimensional accuracy essential for .45/70 performance standards. The hollow base cavity design reduces material consumption and casting weight while the handle allows safe, stable pouring of molten lead at optimal temperatures. Single-cavity production means each cycle yields one finished projectile, making this tool suitable for deliberate, quality-focused ammunition production rather than high-volume commercial output. The mold's robust construction ensures thermal cycling durability and dimensional consistency across hundreds of casting cycles.

This mold is essential equipment for .45/70 Government shooters—from Sharps rifle competitors to modern lever-action hunters and cowboy action participants. It pairs seamlessly with Lee casting equipment and standard lead-pouring furnaces, requiring only proper safety protocols and lead melting temperature control. Reloaders benefit from the 405-grain specification's proven ballistic performance in traditional and modern .45/70 platforms, enabling consistent shot placement at extended ranges. Whether you're developing custom loads for historical accuracy or optimizing modern hunting ammunition, this single-cavity mold delivers the precision and reliability that experienced handloaders expect.
