Savagescout .. I was told by one of the DWB inmates that the R.E.A.L. conicals will shoot fine out of the White. I would guess the 320 grain might be the way to go with 70 grains of powder. One of these days I am going to to cast a bunch of them. They will not load as easy as the other conicals but they should go down the barrel. I see no reason why a well placed on of them would not harvest a deer.

The minnie ball I would forget about. I have a .50 caliber minnie mold and have yet to find a rifle of mine they will shoot hunting quality well out of.

As for casting tips, have you tried LEE Molds website. They used to have some information there.

A lot of the guys were getting their molds from Mountain Man mold I believe it was. He was building a new shop if I remember right, and not taking orders. I was thinking of getting a mold as well and cast some 500 grain .504 diameter conicals.
