The Lee Precision 90029 Ingot Mold is a manual casting tool designed to cast molten scrap lead and custom bullet-casting alloys into clean, uniform ingots for storage and reloading. Manufactured in the USA from rustproof cast aluminium, the mould quickly dissipates heat to accelerate lead solidification. It features an integrated hardwood handle that stays cool to the touch during extended casting sessions, protecting the user from heat transfer. The resulting ingot shapes fit standard small-to-medium reloading lead melters—such as the Lee Precision Precision Melter, Pro-Pot IV, and Pro 4-20—without jamming the pot opening or bottom-pour spouts.

Key Features

• Multi-Size Cavity Layout: Features 4 cavities configured to produce two 1/2 lb (approx. 227 g) ingots and two 1 lb (approx. 454 g) ingots in a single pour.
• Aluminium Thermal Management: Cast aluminium body provides fast heat dissipation for rapid cycle times and resists rust in humid workshop environments.
• Heat-Resistant Hardwood Handle: Ergonomic wooden handle remains cool during continuous use to minimise fatigue and reduce burn risks.
• 3 lb Total Yield: Produces up to 3 lbs (approx. 1.36 kg) of lead alloy ingots per casting cycle.
• Lead Alloy Compatibility: Engineered for standard bullet-casting alloys operating within typical working temperatures of 343°C to 454°C (650°F to 850°F).

Who is the Lee Precision 90029 Ingot Mold for?

• Australian handloaders casting custom hardness alloys — provides a 4-cavity configuration featuring two 1/2 lb (approx. 227 g) and two 1 lb (approx. 454 g) sections, allowing precise ratio blending of pure lead, tin, linotype, or wheel weights for pistol and rifle shooting.
• Reloaders processing scrap lead — offers a 3 lb (approx. 1.36 kg) total pour capacity in a lightweight 0.27 kg ingot mold, streamlining the fluxing, cleaning, and storage of reclaimed lead into pot-ready ingots.

Less suitable for: High-volume bulk smelting operations processing hundreds of pounds of raw scrap metal, which require high-capacity 4-to-5 lb cast-iron ingot moulds; or precision projectile manufacturing, which requires calibre-specific direct-form bullet moulds rather than an ingot storage mould.
