- After noticing what I believed to be an improvement in the Lee round ball mold that I received a couple weeks ago, I placed another order. This video is about the second mold and that it also seems to show improvement.

I have never used black powder, but now that I am older, I am absolutely fascinated with it and learning as much as I can. Thank you for these informative videos.
Great info. Always liked LEE equipment, nice to see they are still holding standards and quality.
I’m not saying that every mold will be great, but I just checked the.535 that I got at the same time as the .451. Across the cut off is .535, and.535-.536 diameters. The sprue cut area looks just like the one on the first video. 😃. O.R.
Thank you for a great informative video.😊😊😊
Thanks for sharing
My first mold was a Lyman .36 caliber maxi ball mold I bought in 1976… it still casts perfect bullets. My first Lee mold would have been in the early 80’s when I cast for my .357 pistol. I literally wore that poor mold out. One… I was ignorant to proper mold care and two… I cast thousands of bullets out of that old mold. I still have dozens of what you are calling version 1 molds and they have yet to let me down. I shoot a lot of BP cartridge rifles and my only complaint about Lee molds are the shallow grease grooves. Round ball is not an obvious issue… but I like a lot of deep wide grease grooves for my 500-550 grain bullets for my 45-110. Your tips and observations would have been great to know 48 years ago when I started casting… there were not many of us doing so back then and darn sure no internet. Thank you Pard for helping folks out and have a blessed day!
Thanks Ray, most of us "oldies" had to learn from books, or on our own. I'm afraid I couldn't deal with a 45-110. My 45-90 is going to get an opportunity to test some of my BlackMZ and maybe some home brew stuff. I'm thinking that will be a good way to reduce my BlackMZ supply. O.R.
I like a 45-90. I had one in a Shiloh 1874 sharps for 15 or so years. One of those I wish I still had. I am down to my M-1867 Danish rolling block that I Installed a 36” 1” round 1-20 Douglas barrel on and my 1874 Montana Armory 45-110. I have taken elk, deer, antelope, hogs and one Buffalo in Wyoming with her. I played with various duplex and Pyrodex loads years ago… but just went back to 3F Goex and now Swiss in them. I do shoot 3F Triple 7 in my revolvers (1851, 1860, 1858) and in my .54 caliber percussion plains pistol style guns I made. Then straight BP in my .54 and .62 caliber rifle. My grandfather taught me how to cast fishing sinkers back in the early 1970’s when I was 14… that’s been a day or two my friend.
I had an Uncle that got me into reloading and casting, but I always had the interest. That was over 60 years ago. I only wish now that I would have realized he wouldn't be around for ever, and could have spent more time with him when he was doing his passion. Not until his wive gave me his reloading things, did I realized how much he was into it. O.R.
@@oldranger3044 I hear you sir… I sure miss those who passed way before they should have. I am a navy brat… my father was stationed at Yokosuka and was transferred to Miramar, CA. in 1969 so we moved from Japan to Poway California when I was 9. My mother was a Hiroshima survivor and had lived in Japan her entire life… Dad taught me how to reload with a Lee hand loader (1 at a time) and bought me a 1917 Sporterized Enfield in 30-06 for my 10th birthday in 1970. He watched me reload 10 30-06 rounds (that’s another story) and I took my first 2x2 blacktail deer behind Art Linkletters ranch by Fallbrook, CA. So I have been reloading ever since.
@@raytribble8075 Thanks for sharing Ray. My Dad gave me a 22 Winchester 67 youth model for my 10th. He wouldn’t allow me to get a BB gun before that because he wanted me to be trained with the real thing. I have a lot of respect for asian people. Especially my wife. O.R.
@@oldranger3044 I gave my Winchester 67 to one of my grandsons (he was born 9/11/23) this past Christmas and his older brother who is now 12… got the P17… the same one I took my first deer with. At least he can hold it up and shoot it. I carried a “Y” branch with me so I could aim. It was time to pass the torch
hello my friend just a small tip for you, i was dinged several times by utube for showing the lead entering the mold and accused of manufacturing bullets which is a violation of their guide lines, so i would not show the pouring but show the breaking of the mold and dropping the bullets which was according to them was a borderline strike and was giving a warning, it's not too late to make an edit, great job on the measurements.
Every day they get more restrictive
Thanks for the heads up, will see if I can edit. O.R.
Thumbs up video!
That is very good research! I have found that the factory swaged balls are too small for my C&B pistols, it could be the reason some shooters are getting chain fires, but your new mould looks to cast a very consistent projectile, I look forward to seeing how these perform. Chris B.
Have you slugged bore of revolver barrel to know groove diameter?
Have you slugged a cylinder chamber so that you can make bullet diam decision?
I have measured 0.446" to 0.450" chambers on reproduction 44 revolvers, and nearly universal 0.451" groove diam.
There are 3 generally available swaged rb diameters. Buy a larger diameter. If "Navy", only 0.375" available. If .31 cal, well, ...
@@cedar_tree2006 Yes I have measured bore and chamber diameters, I usually find some mismatch in chamber diameter dimensions so ream the chamber to .001"over groove dia, the actual chamber dia is no problem as I can buy a round ball mould in .001" increments ,that gives me a perfect match for the chamber with .004" to shave off on loading, the problem with swaged balls is that unless they are within a strict size limit the interference will not give the "ring of lead", it really depends on what your requirements are, for just plinking around in the garden just enough chamber seal is OK. Chris B.
Wrinkled bullets means lead temperature is wrong for the alloy, and influenced by how well consistent temp of mold is maintained. If caster can't "get the feel" for casting wrinkle-free (or frost-free too hot) bullets, get a thermometer.
Measuring diameter of visibly deformed, wrinkled round balls to +- 0.0005" to check consistency makes no sense.
Thank you for pointing out changes to the Lee product offerings.
Was lead alloy used for the "old mold" round balls the SAME as new mold?
Good info, thanks for the video.
