Lee 90283 Double Cavity .530-Caliber Round Ball Mold

Lee Precision 90283 Mold Double Cavity Round Ball .530 Diameter Aluminum/Wood Capacity 2 Bullets

The Lee 90283 Double Cavity Round Ball Mold is designed for casting round projectiles used in muzzleloading and black powder firearms. Its two-cavity configuration allows you to produce two balls per casting cycle, making it a practical choice for shooters who cast their own ammunition. The mold is designed for .530-caliber round balls with an approximate cast weight of 223.49 grains, providing a dependable option for compatible muzzleloader applications.
The aluminum mold body offers a balance of durability and manageable handling for regular casting work. A tangential cut-off design helps remove the excess material at the sprue while minimizing the pronounced nib commonly left on cast round balls. This design can reduce finishing work and help produce consistently shaped projectiles when used with appropriate casting technique, alloy preparation, and temperature control.
The Lee 90283 package includes the double-cavity aluminum mold, a sprue plate, and a wood handle for convenient operation. The handle supports controlled use while the sprue plate helps manage the casting process between pours. Whether you are replenishing a supply of round balls for the range, hunting, or traditional muzzleloading activities, this Lee mold provides a straightforward way to cast compatible projectiles at home. Follow established lead-casting safety practices, including proper ventilation, protective equipment, and careful handling of heated materials.
