Lee .495-inch Round Ball Mould, Double Cavity (182 gr)

The Lee .495-inch Round Ball Mould (Lee part no. 90450) casts round lead balls for muzzleloading rifles, pistols, and cap-and-ball revolvers built around this bore diameter. Lee builds this double-cavity mould from aluminum instead of iron or steel, so it heats up and cools down faster at the casting pot and weighs noticeably less in the hand over a long casting session. CNC-machined block halves keep every ball round and consistent from cavity to cavity, and this mould comes complete with handles, so there is nothing extra to buy before you start casting.
