Lee Precision 90442 Mold Double Cavity Round Ball .454 Capacity 2 Bullets

If you cast round balls for percussion cap rifles, revolvers, or muzzleloaders, the Lee Precision Double Cavity Round Ball Mold in .454 caliber puts two bullets per pour in your hands. Built from aluminum rather than steel or iron, this casting mold heats and cools faster—a real advantage when you're working through a casting session and want consistent results without long waits between pours. The matched pair of CNC-machined block halves resists fatigue and delivers uniformly smooth projectiles, shot after shot.

Lee Precision has packaged this mold with handles included, so you're ready to cast out of the box. The aluminum construction keeps the overall weight down compared to heavier alternatives, making it less fatiguing to grip and manipulate during extended casting. That same material resists rust, so your investment holds up in the shop or field without special babying.

Whether you reload for a traditional revolver, a black powder rifle, or just prefer the self-sufficiency of casting your own shot, a double-cavity mold cuts your pouring time roughly in half versus single-cavity designs. The .454 size serves a range of period and modern applications where that bullet diameter makes sense. This is straightforward, proven casting equipment—no frills, no markup, just the basics done right.
