The Lee Six Cavity Mold in .429 240gr-2r is a precision reloading tool designed for shooters and ammunition reloaders who demand consistent, high-quality cast bullets for .44 Magnum, .44 Special, and related large-bore handgun cartridges. This six-cavity configuration allows experienced handloaders to produce multiple bullets per cycle, significantly increasing output efficiency during bulk ammunition production. Whether you're a competitive shooter, tactical trainer, or serious hobbyist reloader, this mold represents Lee's commitment to reliability and repeatability in the reloading process.
The mold's six-cavity design produces .429-diameter, 240-grain bullets with the 2R (two-diameter) profile—a configuration that balances knockdown power with manageable recoil across magnum handgun platforms. The cavity geometry is precisely machined from Lee's proven aluminum alloy construction, ensuring minimal wear over thousands of casting cycles. The 2R profile features a larger bearing surface and a reduced nose diameter, optimizing bullet seating in magnum chambers while improving gas-check compatibility for those running lead-core ammunition. At 1.3 lbs, the mold maintains excellent thermal stability during extended casting sessions, promoting uniform bullet weight and consistent ballistic performance downrange.
This mold is ideal for dedicated reloaders working with .44 Magnum hunting loads, defensive ammunition, or high-volume practice rounds for .44 Special revolvers and lever-action rifles. The six-cavity configuration makes it particularly valuable for those casting 500+ rounds per session, reducing labor per bullet and improving cost-per-round economics. Proper flux, appropriate lead temperature (680–750°F), and consistent mold cooling technique are essential for optimal results. The mold ships without handles, offering flexibility for users to attach custom handles or integrate it into existing casting bench setups—a specification preferred by serious reloaders who maintain dedicated equipment.
