could anyone tell me if the r.e.a.l bullets cast from the lee moulds will work in a .45cal long rifle with a 1-66 twist what kind of accuracy would this have at 75-100 yds i my r/b shoot about 1 1/2-2 in but i need something with more punch for some ferral pigs i know the .45 is small but its all i got and cant buy a new one just for this any help would be most appreceiated thanks tom h.

Since rifling twist rate is related to bullet aspect ratio, the three band REAL should do OK as it is only about one caliber long. The four band bullet may need a faster twist.

So far as accuracy is concerned, the only way to tell is shoot it. Trying to say how your rifle may shoot would be purely guesswork, but they sholud do as well as the round ball if well cast.

To stabilize that heavy bullet in such a slow twist, excessive speed without gas-cutting is mostly required. Use 90 grains (max allowed?) with a fast powder like Black Mag-3, Swiss FF or 777 FFF.... wonderwad/bore button may be needed with it. Another route would be the 275 grain Powerbelt AT or 285 gr. Buffalo Bullet. Powerbelts are relatively easy to find. Here's a source for the Buffalo below.

Use the lighter of the 2 bullet moulds and it should work ! I think that would be 200grains ! The Round ball out of the 45 behind the shoulder should stop any pig ,deer or human i kown of ! 70 grains of 2fg and you may need to add some tin to the alloy ! JAGG
