Lee Precision R.E.A.L bullets

[82Tank]

I am a muzzle loader (almost) newbie. 25 or so years ago I had a .58 and cast my own RB. I now have a different .58 percussion and a .45 percussion (.45 is for my teen-aged grandson).

I have seen a lot about these bullets and am thinking about purchasing the Lee molds (I still have my old pot, RB mold and ladle).
I have a few questions.
1. Do you still 'butter' the bullets, or shoot them dry?
2. For the .45/220gr bullet, what is a good powder load?
3. Similar question for the .58/440

Thanks,

I cast these for my .50 and .45 calibre firearms. I use Crisco as a lube, though this next spring/summer I’ll be experimenting with Alox…but yeah, you’ll want to use some type of lube
