Lee Precision's .58 Caliber Single Cavity Bullet Mold casts 472-grain round bullets at a 0.575" diameter, suited to black powder and Minie ball shooting. The mold body is CNC machined from rust-resistant aluminum, which holds roundness and size control through repeated casting sessions.
Aluminum makes the mold about 33% lighter than steel or iron equivalents, so extended casting sessions put less strain on the hands and arms, and the block heats and cools faster between pours. The single cavity design keeps each bullet consistent for reloaders working up black powder loads.
