This is the best sized mold for any Pietta .44 cal revolver..454 shoots much more accurate then .451. The .457 is a bit much and will wear out your ram rod pivots after time. Use only pure soft lead. Gives you that nice full round shaved ring of lead when seating. Degrease the new mold with engine degreaser, rinse well, let fully dry, don't bother smoking it never made a difference to me with aluminum molds. Put tiny dab of wax on the sprue cutter hinge, wipe a little wax on the top surface under sprue plate and a touch on the alignment pins being careful to not get any in the cavities, drops perfect balls after 4 or 5 warm up pours every time. Easily cast 200 to 300 balls a hour, Perfection !

After smoking the mold with wooden matches I immediately was casting good balls. I have never cast anything in my life before this. And after seeing how easy it is should have started years ago

It dune real good. Once the heat is right on the metal and mold and directions are followed on carbon coating , and it's kept clean in the mold, it will turn out great round bullets. Remember to slide the slag off.

Like all Lee molds, this casts basically perfect balls every time. Using pure lead, they drop right at .454 every time, and you don't have to worry about the mold getting too hot or too cold once you develop a rhythm.

I have several Lee molds and they all work very well. With very little warm up and a little patience, you can cast very good bullets and round ball. Highly recommend.

A perfect mold of round balls for my 1860 Army percussion revolver. Casting with virgin lead made swaging the balls during loading a breeze and accuracy was spot on. A great buy and worth every penny!

Pro's: Very affordable Decent Quality Cast close to proper size Con's: Do not follow the instructions to smoke the mold, All that does is make the mold cat undersized and will make wrinkles in the balls. Just clean the mold with acetone or other similar product.
