Lee Original Minie Ball Mould for Black Powder Shooting
This single-cavity mould is purpose-built for shooters and historians who want to cast authentic minie balls for their black powder rifles. The .575-diameter design produces 500-grain projectiles that deliver the ballistic characteristics these firearms demand.
Construction and Design
Aluminum Construction — The mould body is cast from rust-resistant aluminum, a significant advantage over traditional iron or steel moulds. Aluminum heats and cools more rapidly, allowing you to produce quality bullets in minutes rather than hours. This faster thermal cycling means more consistent results and less waiting between pours.
Reduced Fatigue — Because aluminum weighs considerably less than iron or steel, extended casting sessions place far less strain on your hands, wrists, and arms. Whether you're casting a few dozen rounds or preparing ammunition for a season of shooting, the lighter weight makes the work more sustainable.
CNC Precision — The block halves are machined on computer numerical control equipment, ensuring perfect roundness and precise size control. This manufacturing standard delivers the dimensional consistency that serious black powder shooters expect.
Performance
The single-cavity design prioritizes quality over speed. Each minie ball is formed with the care and precision that these traditional projectiles deserve, giving you ammunition worthy of your rifle and your marksmanship.
