Lee Molds Explained

[@tims6212]

Cool! Thank you. I had no idea of all Lee's options. I always just looked up Midway USA and bam.

[@TheLarkinsLair]

You bet!

[@claiborneeastjr4129]

I have eight Lee molds and all produce high quality bullets. Also the Lee 4-20 melting pot. Plus a few Lee dies and factory crimp dies. No complaints about any Lee products. I couldn't find the 500 Smith and Wesson mold (440 - RF - .501) in a four-cavity; had to get the two-cavity.

Lee is Awesome and doesn't break the bank!

So looking at this here, I’d imagine the 1R, 1C, 1F would be the shape of the bullet, like “1R= Round, version 1” but that’s what makes sense to me.

Thank you for posting this video. Because I am a beginner, 5:51 I value this. I do have a question. Do you prefer to use water or air cool or finished product? Thanks.

[@TheLarkinsLair]

Water. I had a video on that... but KZbin removed it. rumble.com/v2z3b1k-bullet-casting-tips-and-tricks-removed-from-youtube.html

Hi there what do you put on your Lee mould when using is bees wax on the pins and good 👍🏼

[@robertocosta5727]

Good evening, do you manufacture a shape like this for .22 or .25 caliber slugs, used in air rifles or pcps?

[@TheLarkinsLair]

No, I don't own an air rifle, but I have heard of people casting projectiles for those. Just make sure to send them through a sizing die so they are the perfect size.

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

The Lee .22 55gr mold might work, though 55 grains might be a bit too long for some PCP guns. They have lube grooves in them too which will help engrave the rifling a little better...

[@Johnny-jr2lq]

Personally I prefer iron and brass over aluminum

[@TheLarkinsLair]

An Iron or brass mold? I didn't know anyone made some of those. I will have to look into it.

[@humansvd3269]

Custom service is gone.

[@TheLarkinsLair]

Sad. :(

[@duncanandrews1940]

ALL Lee molds come with handles.

[@TheLarkinsLair]

The 2 cavity molds come with handles. But the 6 cavity molds don't (at least when I bought mine).
