The Lee Round Nose Rifle Mould in .459" with a 500-grain weight is a double-cavity casting mould built for handloaders and bullet casters who want to produce their own rifle projectiles. Whether you're casting for big-bore rifles, specialty hunting loads, or large-caliber shooting, this mould lets you make consistent, quality bullets at the bench instead of relying on factory stock. Lee Precision has engineered this mould with the working reloader in mind: it's built to handle repeated heating and cooling cycles without warping or losing accuracy, and it comes complete with handles so you can start casting right away.
The double-cavity design means you're casting two bullets per cycle, which speeds up your production without forcing you to babysit the mould constantly. The aluminum construction heats and cools quickly—a real advantage when you're managing temperature and cycle time—and it's considerably lighter than iron or steel alternatives, so you're not fighting fatigue during long casting sessions. The mould halves are precisely crimped to help ensure that rounds come out round and true to size, even after hundreds of casts. That consistency is what separates hand-cast ammunition from guesswork.
This is a purpose-built tool for the reloader who's serious about controlling every variable in the cartridge. If you're already set up with a casting furnace and the basics of bullet casting, or you're thinking about getting started, a quality mould like this one is a core investment. It's the kind of equipment that pays dividends over years of use.
| Caliber/Diameter | .459" |
| Bullet Weight | 500 gr |
| Cavity Count | Double (2 cavities) |
| Material | Aluminum |
| Handles | Included |
| Manufacturer | Lee Precision |
This mould is designed to work with a bullet casting furnace. You'll need molten lead and a way to maintain safe casting temperature. The mould comes with handles, but you'll need to source your own lead supply and furnace if you don't already have them set up.
This is a rifle mould. The .459" bore diameter and 500-grain weight are designed for large-caliber rifle applications, not handgun cartridges.
Lee Precision designed this mould for durability through repeated heating and cooling cycles. The aluminum construction and crimped block halves are engineered to maintain consistency over hundreds of casts, making it a long-term investment in your reloading bench.
The handles are included and designed to be part of the mould during the casting process, giving you a safe grip when handling hot metal and opening and closing the cavity blocks.
