The Lee Precision 452-228-1R double cavity mold produces a .452 diameter 228 grain round nose bullet suitable for cartridges like .45 ACP and .45 Colt. Handles are included, making this a complete casting solution for handloaders. This aluminum-based mold offers practical advantages for reloaders: Lee mold blocks are machined from aluminum blocks making them rust resistant, and aluminum molds heat up and cool down faster than iron or steel molds so good bullets can usually be produced after only a few casts.
The 452-228-1R is engineered for precision and consistency. Aluminum blocks are one-third the weight of iron or steel mold blocks for less fatigue during extended casting sessions. Mold block halves are CNC machined for unmatched roundness and size control. This two-cavity design efficiently produces bullets in manageable batches, making it ideal for reloaders who want reliable performance without the complexity of larger multi-cavity blocks.
Whether you’re loading for competition, hunting, or practicing with your .45 ACP pistol or .45 Colt revolver, this Lee Precision mold delivers the quality and durability Lee is known for. The rust-resistant aluminum construction ensures years of dependable service, and the straightforward design requires minimal maintenance.
