The Lyman Double Cavity Rifle Bullet Mould #225415 (MPN: LY-M60415 / 2660415) is a precision-machined reloading tool designed for casting high-quality .22 caliber projectiles. Constructed from solid leaded-steel blocks, this double-cavity mould is heat-treated and pre-blued at the factory to minimise the initial break-in period and prevent molten lead from adhering to the mould faces. This mechanical casting tool produces two 55-grain flat-nose bullets simultaneously, optimizing your reloading workflow. The flat-nose design combined with a gas check base allows handloaders to drive these cast projectiles at higher velocities while preventing excessive barrel leading. Please note that this is a purely mechanical workshop tool; it requires no electrical power, meaning Australian SAA/RCM certifications and 240V compatibility are not applicable.

Key Features:

• Solid Leaded-Steel Construction: Unlike aluminum alternatives, the heavy-duty steel blocks offer superior thermal stability and a long service life.
• Hardened Steel Alignment Pins: Ensures the two halves of the mould block align perfectly every time, preventing parting-line mismatches and ensuring perfectly round projectiles.
• Double-Cavity Efficiency: Allows the user to cast two 55-grain bullets per pour, significantly reducing casting time.
• Gas Check Design: Casts bullets with a rebate at the base to accept standard .22 caliber gas checks, allowing for higher velocity rifle loads.
• Integrated Sprue Cutter: Features a durable steel sprue plate that cleanly shears off excess lead from the base of the cast bullets.

Who It Is For:

This Lyman bullet mould is designed for Australian handloaders, target shooters, and pest controllers who reload popular .22 caliber centerfire cartridges, including the .22 Hornet, .222 Remington, .223 Remington, and .22-250 Remington. It is ideal for those seeking to reduce their ammunition costs and customise their projectile alloy hardness for specific hunting or target applications. Because bullet casting involves working with molten lead alloys, users must operate this equipment in a well-ventilated outdoor or workshop environment and wear appropriate personal protective equipment to ensure safety.
