Lee 1-Cavity Original Minie Ball Bullet Mold 575-500M 575 Diameter 500

This is a Lee single cavity (means it cast one) Minnie Ball is the description. For instance it could say SWC which is a single wad cutter. The first set of numbers (575)in the description tell you the diameter/ or caliberof the projectile. The second set (500m) tell you the weight of the projectile when casted out of pure lead.

The weight part is not quite accurate. I cast a 405 grain .458 diameter FN bullet but they actually weigh 422 grains on average instead of 405 grain like they claim.
