Default Which lead for casting round balls and Lee REAL bullets?

I'm considering casting round balls and REAL bullets in .50 and .54 calibers. Never done any casting. I've been reading and watching videos.

Is pure 99.9% lead what I would need to use? Will be shooting them in Lyman and Pedersoli rifles.

Been looking at Roto Metals site. https://www.rotometals.com/pure-soft...99-9-5-pounds/

Any suggestions and/or guidance on casting would be greatly appreciated. I also have Lyman's Cast Bullet Handbook. Just got it.

Many thanks,

Paul
