Anyone using this in .50cal? I was looking at it and wondered how well they shoot. I plan on trying them in the Accura for some cheap off season shooting to hone the ol skills.

I have both the .50 and the .54 mold for minnie ball. I used to cast them but was not satisfied with the accuracy. Now that I think about it, I might have pushed them too fast. I still have the molds but have not cast from them in years. They are both Lee molds. The .50 puts out a .500 360 grain and the .54 puts out a .540 415 grain. Whether they would work in your Accura or some of the other rifles you have, the only way to know is to shoot some of them.

cayugad, if its not to much trouble, would you mind casting me up about a dozen of them to try out in the accura? i can pay for shipping and your time.
