The Lee Round Flat Nose Rifle Mould in .457-diameter, 405 grains (brand part no. 90374) casts the classic heavy-for-caliber flat-point bullet .45-caliber lever-gun and single-shot rifle shooters rely on. It’s sized for .45-caliber rifle cartridges, and the flat-meplat nose profile is built specifically to feed reliably through tube-fed lever actions without the risk a pointed bullet poses against the primer ahead of it in the magazine. Lee Precision has produced affordable, patented reloading tools since 1958, and every mould in this line is cast, machined, and assembled in the USA rather than outsourced, a detail serious handloaders notice.
