Lee R.E.A.L. Bullets

I have several Lee REAL molds in diff calibers. This is what i have had in exp. with them. The lighter they are faster n easier they are to get good groups. REALS don't like to be pushed hard, the lead will strip n jump the lands because of the shallow rings. Heavier does good with lower loads n of course hits hard. I have 200 gr .45, 320 in .50 n a 300 gr in a .54. All of those weights used on tick toters out to 125 yds are killers.

Thanks for the reply. My .54 caliber Kibler Hawken has a 1:56 twist barrel and seems to shoot them best with 80 gr of Triple 7.Very accurate!
 
Thanks for the replies. They shoot excellent out of my Kibler Hawken with a 1:56 twist.
I didn't know the kibler hawken would stabilize a conical bullet.
What caliber do you have?
I put together a 58 kibler hawken a couple months ago. I dont think they make a 58 cal real bullet though.
