I am just trying conicals for the first time, bought a. 36cal Lyman and couldn't get them to shoot in my guns.

Bought a T/C 220gr mold and tried them yesterday.

They shoot better than PRB'S, 5 shots at 50yds with PRB's

5 shots at 50yds using Maxi-balls

I have a T/C .58cal Big Bore, that likes Rapine 585-510 Mini-balls.

I just put the Lee R.E.A.L. .45cal. 200gr. and a .58cal .440gr. in my cart @ Midsouth Shooters Supp. Wish I could find one of the 58cal, 350gr. versions. Will post results when I get the molds and try them.

good shooting and testing to find what the rifles like
I do like the heat of this string , i have a .5 REAL bullet mould , but the police won’t let me shoot guns as at 82 as I might shoot an intruder. I am a collector but allowed to shoot BSA Scorpio pcp air guns 177&22 deadly on squirrels to 50 yards

Perth Oz. been there with relatives plenty of times very anti gun and not much to shoot . It was too expensive and to get a Subaru roof rack from Sydney on auEbay So whilst there I bought one £35 from eBay uk , I posted a label from Yodel uk , £24 to seller , Only downside it was 7 weeks shipping . I did the same with cousins car clutch unobtainable in OZ. So you can get stuff to OZ cheaply , But I struggled with gunny stuff to bring home. While I am on there’s a big range , incl muzzle loading 30 miles north of Perth at Jondulup . Think Queensland is better for gunny people , great country . The only wild animal I saw between Bumbury in the south and Exmouth in the North was an Emu I chased, they don’t alf run fast , wild Roos few and far between . Ok I have hand fed great Rays down south and cuddled Quackers on Rotness island, but not seen any wild goats in all my trips

The fact the mould is at least twice as expensive here and not readily available numb nuts. I'm guessing you are also poor in reading comprehension?
Two outlets that I know have them in stock, @Bigpete. - I thought of giving that REAL a go in my Parker Hales, but I'm happy with what a standard Minie or round ball will do, and the feedback on performance in the military muskets didn't provide enough promise to convince me.

For my American friends, Aussie dollar to US dollar conversion is the worst it has ever been at present: Northern Shooters Supply, $62.01 US and Western Firearms, $ 40.31 US, but saying that, I think that Lee molds are a good buy in Australia.

That one at Western Firearms has been sitting there a while @Bigpete.

Cheers, Pete

hate to say this but at your age I hope you got someone to inherit your vast collection and not have vultures pick over it
