Default RE: CAST BULLETS

Lee REALs should not be sized. They should be cast in pure soft lead only. They have three driving bands. The bottom band (at base of bullet) will just about fit the bore. The middle band is a little larger and will be partially cut by the rifling. The top band is larger yet, and will be cut by the rifling andwill fill the grooves. In my guns, they shoot best with a card or fiber wad.
